Supports most multi-vendor industry standard 32-bit Intel and AMD based (x86) servers. HP requires the Third-Party Server to be logo’d and listed on the Microsoft Windows Server Catalog. Refer to the Microsoft website: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/catalog/server/ HP StorageWorks Division recommends that the Third-Party Server Vendor is an active member of TSANet. Refer to the TSANet website for details: www.tsanet.com For multi-vendor industry standard x86 servers to connect to the MSA1510i – they must be running the supported version of the iSCSI initiator, operating system, HP's DSM* and industry standard Gigabit Ethernet NICs. See compatibility guide for the MSA1510i for supported versions http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/msa1510i Note: *HP’s DSM software is required for path failover with redundant controllers. Only HP’s DSM must be running on the server, and no other DSM software must be installed.
