About this document
The HPE StoreVirtual Compatibility Matrix outlines the host OS and iSCSI Initiator support for HPE StoreVirtual. The most recent version of this document can be
found at hpe.com/storage/spock and HPE SPOCK.
For detailed component level compatibility information on HPE P4000 G2 (for LeftHand OS 12.5 and below) and HPE StoreVirtual, please review the firmware
compatibility matrices on HPE SPOCK.
Branding
HPE StoreVirtual Storage is the current name for the formerly named HP StoreVirtual Storage, HP LeftHand Storage and HP P4000 SAN Solutions. LeftHand OS
is the current name for the formerly named SAN/iQ.
Active/Inactive LeftHand OS Versions

Inactive Versions
Customers with current support contracts will receive basic support, but support escalations and advanced troubleshooting will not occur for customers until they
upgrade to an “Active” version of LeftHand OS.
Active Versions
Customers with current support contracts will receive full support, including escalations as needed. More specific information related to the definition of Active /
Inactive can be found at: Software Support Policy for HPE StoreVirtual
iSCSI/Fibre Channel: Direct attach or direct connect

HPE StoreVirtual does not support direct attach configurations for iSCSI or Fibre Channel connectivity.
iSCSI: Network interfaces and host bus adapters

When using iSCSI to access volumes on HPE StoreVirtual, a host utilizes an iSCSI initiator; typically that means either an iSCSI Software Initiator
or an iSCSI host bus adapter. The HPE StoreVirtual Compatibility Matrix lists the supported configurations of LeftHand OS version, host OS and
iSCSI initiator:
• When using iSCSI Software Initiators, the combination of host OS and the iSCSI Software Initiator must be listed in this document. In this
case, the network adapters used for iSCSI must be supported by the server and host OS but are not explicitly listed in this matrix.
• When using iSCSI host bus adapters, the combination of host OS and iSCSI host bus adapter must be listed in this document.

2. iSCSI Initiators
NOTE: Boot from SAN is not supported for servers running in UEFI mode. Please use the legacy BIOS mode to implement a Boot from
SAN configuration.

15. Management Group Interoperability

Storage systems with a new version of LeftHand OS can join management groups running an earlier version. The table outlines the
interoperability between LeftHand OS and management group versions. Running management groups and clusters with mixed versions
of LeftHand OS is fully supported. The number of different versions in the management group should be kept to a minimum whenever
possible. HP recommends upgrading storage systems to the latest applicable version of LeftHand OS.
LeftHand OS Version

Management Group version 11.5 √ √ √ √ √ √
Management Group version 12.0 √ √ √ √ √
Management Group version 12.6 √ √ √
Management Group version 12.7 √
Example: A storage system running LeftHand OS 12.0 can join management group versions 10.5, 11.0, 11.5, 12.0. Some features may not be available until all
storage systems have been updated to the newer version of LeftHand OS. Once all storage systems are upgraded to a newer version of LeftHand OS, the
management group version is typically updated automatically to that newer version. As a result, storage nodes with an earlier version of LeftHand OS will no
longer be able to join the management group. For more information on how to identify the software version running on storage systems and the management
group, please consult the HP StoreVirtual user guide.
Note: There is no change in Global Data base version for 12.8, it would be same as 12.7. This will allow 12.7 nodes to be added to 12.8 Group.
