EMC interoperability with Emulex HBA and ESX drivers
Installed ESX 3.5u4 into a host with LP11002E HBA with CLARiion CX4-120 backend.
HBA drivers installed with 3.5u4 are elx_7.4.0.40, yet EMC is telling me that only supported drivers are elx_7.4.0.13 which came with 3.5u2. EMC tech is telling me that I must downgrade to 3.5u2 for interoperability. This does not make me happy as there are business reasons why U4 is a more desired platform.
What the deal with the Emulex LP11002E drivers and certified support? Do the interoperability docs need a refresh? Or do I really need to downgrade to 3.5u2? And if I do need to downgrade what the roadmap for elx_7.4.0.40 interoperability support?
regards,
~Patrick
