Dell PowerVault ME4 Series Storage System Support Matrix

PDF

Supported protocol offload (TOE/iSCSI) adapters

Standard Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters are supported when used with supported software iSCSI initiators. Hosts must have a standards compliant iSCSI initiator to access ME4 Series storage. Initiator support is provided by the initiator or operating system vendor. However, ME4 Series storage systems do not support Converged Network Adapters (CNA) in Converged mode.

Dell does not endorse or support initiators directly, but this support matrix does provide some useful configuration information for common initiators. ME4 Series storage systems work with any RFC 3720 iSCSI compliant initiators. The initiator must support all mandatory iSCSI features (IPSec is not required). This information is subject to change without notice. Dell is not responsible for any errors in this information.

CAUTION Hardware initiators are not supported by ME4 Series storage systems.

Read the initiator documentation and Release Notes from the particular vendors, and the Dell EMC PowerVault ME4 Series Storage System Release Notes for up-to-date configuration recommendations.
