IBM DS3400 not suported with ESX 4.0 U1

[restoore]

Hello,

I've searched in the VMware compatibility guide and i've seen that IBM DS3400 wasn't supported by ESX 4.0 U1.

Can someone explain me why ?

It's supported on 4.0.

Probably just hasn't been tested/certified on U1 yet.

These things take time, there are a lot of different possible configurations that need to be tested before they can be put into the HCL.

Thank for your reply.

I was thinking the same thing but I wanted to have a confirmation.

Hi!

I can confirm that I have customer using DS3400 with ESX4u1 and it's working perfectly.

As 4.0 U1 was not a re-certification trigger anything that is support under 4.0 will inherit supported for 4.0u1.

If support is crucial to you I would advise contacting IBM & VMware on this, there may be a reason that it is not listed as supported, or it may just be a typo/db glitch.

Does this apply to 4.0 U2 ?

I asked the same question to an IBM technician and he told me that they don't have any problem with esx 4.0 u2.

They just don't have the certificate yet.
