AIX Support Matrix

Hitachi VSP 5x00, G1x00, F1500, Gxx0, Fxx0, VSP, HUS VM
Note: Configurations added since the last matrix will be shown in red text.
Introduction
Use this interoperability matrix to check whether a proposed customer configuration is supported. Each tab
contains a set of components that together comprise an Hitachi Vantara-supported solution. This includes
operating system (OS) and maintenance release, host bus adapter (HBA), HBA driver, and storage area
network (SAN) switches, both Fibre channel (FC),Fibre channel over Ethernet (FCoE).

Note: The arrays supported now include the VSP 5100, 5100H, 5500, 5500H.

Note on the 16 & 32 Gb Interfaces:

- The 32Gb interface is only available on the VSP 5x00, GX00 and FX00 arrays. It is supported with both 16 &
32Gb SFPs and operates at a maximum of 32Gbps.
- The VSP and HUS VM do not have 16Gb FC interfaces.
- With SVOS 7, for Direct connection to 16Gb or 32Gb FC you must set the storage port to Fabric = OFF and
Connection Type P-to-P (Point to Point)

If a combination does not appear on the OS support matrix, the customer's Hitachi Vantara Sales Engineer
(SE) or other Hitachi field service employee must submit an Interoperability Support Request in order to
gain support for the new configuration.
