SilkWorm® Switch Compatibility Statement

This document summarizes equipment that is known to be compatible with the Brocade SilkWorm Family of switches, directors, and routers. Products named in this document’s compatibility lists reflect equipment tested at Brocade, and equipment tested by Brocade OEM and developer partners. Brocade and its OEM and development partners have tested a wide variety of devices for compatibility with the Brocade SilkWorm family of switches, directors, and routers. The current list of Brocade products may be found at http://www.brocade.com/products/index.jsp. Based on product testing and operation of products in customer installations, the following Support and Compatibility guidelines have been generated for reference. The devices listed in this matrix are deemed compatible with Brocade products in a Brocade infrastructure. Brocade cannot provide direct support for the end nodes or applications listed in this document, but is committed to ensuring the Brocade infrastructure is operating correctly while integrating with these components. The components listed in this document are not guaranteed to work in all configurations, but Brocade is committed to help customers with a valid Brocade Support Contract to resolve any compatibility issues. For purposes of this document, “compatibility” is defined as having the ability to connect to the SilkWorm product, to register with the name server (if appropriate), and to support a moderate level of I/O. Users of this list should plan on validating their specific configuration with a level of testing appropriate to their application. Sections titled “Brocade Compatibility Matrix Quick Reference” and “Brocade Compatibility Matrix by Vendor” provide an overview of devices that are compatible within a Brocade infrastructure. Guidance is provided on products that are known to be able to integrate with a Brocade infrastructure. To ensure proper integration, users should refer configuration details to their OEM or integrator supporting these devices. Brocade expects that the solution provider will supply detailed guidelines on the correct firmware, driver, and configuration settings required to ensure any specific needs are met. By the date of publication of this document many vendors may offer more recent software support for their products. Users of this document should refer questions on end-to-end interoperability to their OEM or integration partner. Your support provider can assist with the proper configuration and tuning of your end-to-end solution to meet any specific business needs. The products listed in this section are considered compatible in a Brocade infrastructure. The column titled “Fabric Aware” in the section “Brocade Compatible Matrix Quick Reference“ indicates products that have been tested within the guidelines of the Brocade Fabric Aware Partner program. This program provides a key set of guidelines to ensure that partners’ products meet the minimum requirements for compatibility in a Brocade networked storage environment. “Fabric Aware” is intended to provide additional assurance that standard off-the-shelf components can integrate seamlessly within an existing Brocade infrastructure. More information on the Fabric Aware program can be found at http://www.brocade.com/partners/fabric_aware_program.jsp. In addition to the product testing performed by Brocade, Brocade OEM and Development Partners also have extensive testing programs. Each of these partners may maintain their own compatibility, interoperability or support guidelines, and can provide detailed information on the configurations they support. Products and product variants not specifically listed in this document can and may be compatible and supported in a production SAN infrastructure. Your OEM or integration partner is the first reference for questions on supported devices, fabric configuration, firmware or Fabric OS selection, and any settings for end-to-end solution deployment.

Many Brocade partners provide detailed support information online. Examples include but are not limited to): EMC : http://www.emc.com/interoperability/index.jsp HP : http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/san/documentation.html IBM : http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/san/index.html Network Appliance : http://netapp.com/products/fcsan.html Brocade avoids the use of the term “certification” when it comes to compatibility and interoperability testing. Brocade expects suppliers of complete solutions (OEM or integration partner) to provide details on configurations they have certified. This document provides the basis for integrators to assemble working systems that they can support and certify. However, Brocade cannot certify that any components on this list, when attached to any other component via our switching products, will operate with no issues. Brocade is committed to actively testing and correcting any issues with its products, and to work with partners to help resolve compatibility issues as they are reported. You can send your questions, corrections or suggestion in improving this document to [email protected]. THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE FOLLOWING MATRIX IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS AND IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION DOES NOT MODIFY ANY WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR OBLIGATIONS IN ANY WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH BROCADE. ACCORDINGLY, PROVISION BY BROCADE OF THE INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT SHALL CREATE NO ADDITIONAL WARRANTIES, LIABILITIES, OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY KIND AND BROCADE ASSUMES NO LIABILITY RELATED TO THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION.

Scalability Support Matrix This section details several key support considerations for SilkWorm SANs. Brocade will support all of our partners on any fabric configuration and connected SAN devices, as detailed in Table 1 and that does not exceed the defined maximums, and satisfy the minimum Fabric OS & Fabric Manager requirements. “Secure Fabric OS Disabled” is any SilkWorm with Fabric OS or with the Secure Fabric OS license installed but not activated. Secure Fabric OS is only supported in configurations where designated (i.e. “Secure Fabric OS Enabled”). The support designator indicates either current or legacy. The “Legacy” support designator is provided to enable those customers who deploy with a specific version of Fabric OS to continue to expand to support limits without having to upgrade Fabric OS. The “Current” support indicator reflects the most recent support levels. Table 1 : Current SilkWorm Scalability Support Matrix
