Overview
This document contains information regarding compatibility and interoperability for a "configuration set" of Storage Area Network (SAN) components. A configuration set is a collection of components that
are compatible in a particular context. For example, configuration sets of type "array-os" contain components that are compatible from an array-os perspective. An example of an array-os config set is the
"EVA4400 Microsoft Windows Server 2008 IA64" config set. It describes the components that are currently supported for the EVA4400 array in a Windows 2008 IA64 environment.
It is very important that you note the details of the components listed in these tables, as they describe the specific attributes of supported component versions. It is also very important to examine the notes
in each section, because they may further limit or clarify supported configurations.

Notes:
General Operating System (3) Notes:
1) HP 3PAR recommends disabling the new thin provisioning space reclaim feature introduced in Solaris 11.1 due to a known OS issue. The issue causes a delay in host I/O until any given space
reclaim function (SCSI UNMAP) is completed. Space reclaim is an automatic function within Solaris 11.1 whenever a ZFS file is deleted. The space reclaim feature can be disabled by adding the
following line in file /etc/system: set zfs:zfs_unmap_ignore_size=0. The host must be rebooted for edits to /etc/system to take effect.

Notes:
General Converged Network Adapter (CNA) (4) Notes:
1) OCe10102 card is supported on Oracle servers only.
2) With OCe10102, configuring the disks using the Solaris command "cfgadm -c configure cX", where "X" is the controller instance, while I/O is running to the array, can cause I/O stalls of up to a minute
or higher. If using this command, stop all I/O beforehand, alternatively, use the command "cfgadm -al".
3) QLE8142 is not supported with Solaris 11
