Hardware Campatiability with VSPhere

We are looking to upgrade from Virtual centre 2.5 and esx 3.5 to Vpshare4 update1. For our hardware we use dell poweredge 1955 servers and DS4500 IBM fibre SAN. We also use brocade switches part of our Fibre SAN,

The issue I have is that I need to know if all my hardware is compatiable with Vpshere. What I am concerned about is if the firmware levels of the following are compatiable with Vpshere:

Emulex HBA in Dell Servers - Firmware level 2.50A6 and 2.70A5

Brocade switches - Firmware level 5.1.0d

DS4500 Controller - Firmware level 06.23.05.02

These are the firmware of my hardware. Can anyone assist where I can find if these are compatiable, or would anyone.

DS4500 is supported also in vSphere.

For other part see the previous link.

Probably you cannot find the FC switch... but it's normal (also the network switches are not in the list)
