I checked with one of my Compellent contacts and the way our Compellent support works is we will support it all when it comes to the OS. So even though we are still testing things it is still fully supported on the Compellent line.
At this point Windows 2012 has not been included on the list of supported Operating systems. Depending on what storage device you are working with I have seen it work just fine it just hasn't been added to the support matrix. What devices are you working with and I can do some testing and see if I run into any issues on it. I would advise to just keep an eye on the support matrix for each device on the www.support.dell.com website as it will be added there once all the testing has been completed. I just haven't heard of an ETA on when that will occur.
thank you, that answers my question. i would like to monitor the support matrix for changes but the link you provided did not lead me to a support matrix. could you provide another one?
However, with that with the Compellent arrays we will still assist you in what ever you need even while they are still testing that OS. So if you have some questions please let me know and I would be happy to help you.
My experience so far with Server 2012 Hyper-V and the new virtual fibre HBA is that it doesn't work 100% with Series 40 Controllers and SC ver 5.4.1. All seems to work ok if you only use VHDX containers for VM storage.
As SC 6.2.1 is only supported on Series 40 controllers and up (as far as I am aware) are there any plans for support for older series 20 controllers?
At this point there are no plans on the 20 and 30 series controllers being able to use SC 6.X as those older controllers are 32 bit systems and the SC 6.X code is 64Bit only.
