Dell EMC OpenManage Software Support Matrix Version 9.1

PDF

RAID and non-RAID Controller Supported Servers, Operating Systems, Firmware, and Driver Versions

Starting with OpenManage Server Administrator version 5.0, only the enhanced Storage Management Service is supported. The Storage Management Service allows you to configure and manage your storage devices from within Server Administrator.

  • NOTE: The Storage Management Service mentioned in this guide refers to the enhanced Storage Management Service. Server Administrator no longer supports the basic Storage Management Service (also known as Array Manager).

Most of the systems management releases support management of RAID controllers in the form of PERC cards, and some systems management releases also support SATA controllers. System administrators responsible for monitoring the compatibility of their systems' storage devices need a clear matrix that shows the elements that are compatible with a particular storage controller. Each storage controller version in turn supports a specific array of elements, including:

  • Version of the Storage Management Service
  • Dell system
  • Firmware version number required for a particular controller
  • Supported operating systems, where each operating system requires a specific driver

For more information on Storage Management Services see the Dell Server Administrator Storage Management User's Guide at dell.com/openmanagemanuals.

The following types of controllers are included in this section:

  • The RAID controller card group contains the following controllers: H730P, H740, H840, HBA330, SAS12GBPS, AND S140.
  • The RAID controller card group supports the following operating systems: Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, VMware ESXi 6.5, VMware ESXi 6.0 U3, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2.
  • NOTE: The firmware and drivers listed in this section refer to the minimum supported version as of the publication date of this document. Later versions of the firmware and drivers may also be supported or required. For the most recent driver and firmware requirements, see dell.com/openmanagemanuals for the Storage Management Service.
