"EMC is committed to delivering broad storage platform support for Windows Server 2012, including SMB 3.0 and ODX across EMC VNX, EMC VMAX, EMC Isilon after Microsoft's general availability."
The statement is very vague, I know. Do we have a roadmap date at least?
It's great to see that you were able to find some useful information from the EMC |ONE Isilon Support forum!
Thank you for pointing out the announcement.
It's great to see the announcement committing to supporting that protocol.
If I apply my marketing material magnifying glass, the roadmap is entirely dependent on when Microsoft releases the code as GA. Until this occurs, it's reasonable that EMC wouldn't commit to any timeline.
I haven't heard any rumors about the OneFS version beyond 7.0 so I couldn't begin to guess when this might be out.
6.5.5.15 specifically fixed a SMBv2 issue with Windows 8 and 2012 clients. But, I just want to recommend that you upgrade away from 6.5.4.1 as that release is pretty long in the tooth (September of 2011). There have been many SMB enhancements and improvements since that release. 6.5.5.16 just became the recommended release this week. I'd look to move to that as soon as you can.
