Dell EMC NetWorker Hardware Compatibility GuideLast Updated: February 7, 2018WARNING:A device is supported only on the NetWorker release in which it was added or later versions.New compatibility criteria have been implemented to dramatically expand the supportability matrix, as follows:AB1 Criteria #1 - From a NetWorker perspective the Tape Drive is the essential element in qualification not the Tape Library. The Tape Library supports2all the OSes supported by a Tape Drive. Criteria #1 applies to Virtual Tape Libraries (VTL), with the exclusion of the VTL libraries with roboticsdriven through a ADIC DAS or STK ACSLS/ Silo Api, etc. Criteria #1 is NOT applicable to Silos. Silos require qualification with every OS.NOTE: Rule #1 has been applied in this document to all Tape Libraries configured with LTO-1, LTO-2, LTO-3, and LTO-4 Tape Drives with an intentfor updating the rest of the document in future updates. The library must be officially qualified on at least one NetWorker platform, after which wewill consider the library to be supported on all platforms. It does need to be tested at least once,Example 1: An HPE LTO-3 Tape Drive is qualified with Windows 2003 x64. A Tape Library configured with the HPE LTO-3 or a VTL emulating anLTO-3 is qualified to work with Windows 2003 x64 (AMD64, EM64T) without testing the Tape/Library combination.Criteria #2 - If a Tape Drive is qualified with the latest release of OS, previous releases of the same OS are supported without qualification tests (seeExample 2 below). Same exceptions apply as detailed in the exception (bullet #3) below. This rule is not applicable to upwards releases (seeExample 3 below).Example 2: An LTO-3 Tape Drive is qualified with RedHat Linux AS 4.0; support is claimed also for downwards release AS 3.0 withouttesting.Example 3: An HPE LTO-3 Tape Drive is qualified with RedHat Linux AS 3.0; support for upwards release AS 4.0 requires qualification testing3CDEF2.a - Exceptions:. Solaris: each version (8, 9, 10 for SPARC and 10 for AMD64) requires qualification tests. SuSE Linux: there are some differencies between SuSE ES 8.0 and ES 9.0 version requiring qualification with each version. Otherwisecriteria #2 above applies for ES 10 and ES 9. HPE/UX: HPE/UX on different HW platforms (PA-RISc and IA-64) requires individual qualification tests. However, if HPE/UX on PA-RISC hasbeen qualified in 64-bit mode, support for 32-bit mode is claimed without qualification testsCriteria #3 - Storage Devices released by the OEM manufacturer after the relase of a certain NetWorker release should be supported also by priorreleases of NetWorker.3.a - Exceptions:. Storage devices that have unique capabilities requiring ad-hoc instrumentation in NetWorker. (However, this is an extremely raresituation).Please always refer to the NetWorker Release Notes and the NetWorker Administration Guide for detailed configurationinformation.Please see note #7 regarding CLARiiON CDL in the Virtual Tape Libraries section of this GuidePlease note the addition of the NDMP Client Connection-Supported NAS table in this Guide.Please read "Considerations for qualification of devices that are available with multiple interface style" note belowFebruary 7, 2018 Copyright 2005-2018.

Dell EMC NetWorker Hardware Compatibility GuideNoticeHardware compatibility was tested on the current shipping releases of EMC NetWorker at the time of testing.To find out compatibility of a specific EMC NetWorker version with a specific OS version, please check theEMC NetWorker Software Compatibility Guide located in Powerlink at:Home Resources/Tools CS Support Interoperability/ Compatibility/ Configuration Compatibility GuidesSCSI and Fibre Channel connections for the devices listed in this hardware compatibility guide aresupported if supported by the hardware vendor.NetWorker does not support storage devices not listed in this hardware compatibility guide.This guide no longer maintains a list of supported HBA cards since this technology is mature and stable.See Footnote 1 at the bottom of this guide for exceptions known to cause trouble with NetWorker.EMC recommends checking the availability of the latest firmware directly at the device manufacturerwebsite.Products marked "Discontinued" have been discontinued by the hardware vendors. They are still supportedby NetWorker limited to shown OS versions. (See "Discontinued for Removal" section for additionalInformation on discontinued products.Considerations for qualification of devices that are available with multiple interface styles.Currently, we consider a SCSI XYZ tape drive to be functionally equivalent to a fibrechannel (FC) XYZ tape drive, so that if one ofthem is qualified we will support both.With the introduction of iSCSI we need to be careful. We do not have enough experience with either iSCSI to allow us to supportdevices with these interfaces if we have already qualified a SCSI or FC device.With SAS, our main concern is the HBA and HBA driver. We are still in the early days of SAS deployment, and we prefer to err on theside of caution. Until we have built up enough confidence with SAS HBAs and drivers on the various platforms that we support, weare going to require that any SAS storage device be qualified with a specific SAS HBA, preferable one that we have already qualifieddevices on.However, we will accept these results in the reverse direction: If SAS tape drive XYZ is qualified, then we will consider SCSI andFC versions of that same drive to be supported also.For iSCSI devices, there is still not a "standard" connection method. Many people use iSCSI initiator software that is available forvarious OSes (Microsoft has one, Solaris 10 includes on as do some of the newer Linux versions) while some use iSCSI HBAs (Qlogic4xxx). For the foreseeable future, we will only qualify the specific version of target device (tape drive or tape library) with a specificinitiator (i.e. MS iSCSI Initiator v 2.3 on Windows 2003).February 7, 2018 Copyright 2005-2018.
