a newly supported release of a given operating system. Previous releases of a
1. Introduction
This document is intended to provide users of the Intel® Storage System SSR212CC with a
guide to the different operating systems, adapter cards, and peripherals tested by Intel on this
platform.
This document will continue to be updated as new adapters, peripherals, and operating
systems are tested or until the Intel® Storage System SSR212CC is no longer in production.
Each new release of the document will present updated information as well as continue to
provide the information from previous releases.
Intel will only provide support for those adapters and peripherals under the specified system
configuration (System BIOS and Firmware revisions) and operating systems versions with
which they were tested.
1.1 Test Overview
Testing performed on the Intel® Storage System SSR212CC is classified as Adapter /
Peripheral Compatibility and Stress Testing.
The latest version of the
at the time of the actual test run.
supported operating system may not be tested beyond the basic installation
test process.
1.1.1 Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress Testing
Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress testing is performed only on the most current
release of the supported operating systems at the time of a given validation run. The Adapter /
Peripheral Compatibility and Stress testing process consists of three areas: Platform, Adapter
Compatibility, and Stress.
Platform: Each platform will successfully install the operating system, successfully run a disk
stress test, and successfully run a network stress test.
Adapter Compatibility: Adapter compatibility validation (CV) testing uses test suites to gain an
accurate view of how the platform performs with adapters under the operating system. These
tests are designed to show hardware compatibility between the cards and the server platform
and include functional testing only. No heavy stressing of the systems or the cards is
performed for CV testing.
Stress Testing: This test sequence uses configurations that include Ethernet add-in adapters
in the one available slot, or a minimum 24-hour test run without injecting errors. Each
configuration passes an installation test, a Network/Disk Stress test. Any fatal errors that occur
will require a complete test restart.
Revision 1.5 5
Introduction Intel® Storage System SSR212CC
1.1.1.1 Support Commitment for Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress
Testing
Intel commits to provide the following level of customer support for operating systems that
receive Adapter / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress testing:
•
Intel will provide support for customer issues with the operating system involving
installation and/or functionality of the server board with or without the adapters and
peripherals listed in this document as having been tested under the particular operating
system.
•
Support is defined as assistance in root causing issues, and determining a customer
acceptable resolution to the issue associated with the operating system. The resolution
may include, but is not limited to, on-board controller driver changes, engaging the
vendor for resolution, BIOS changes, firmware changes, or determining a customer
acceptable workaround for the issue.
•
Intel will go through some of the steps to achieve certification to ensure its customers do
not run across any problems, but the actual certification is the responsibility of the
individual customer.
For operating systems, adapter cards, and peripherals not listed in this
document, there is no support commitment. Intel will consider support
requests on a case-by-case basis.
1.2 Pass/Fail Test Criteria
For each operating system, adapter, and peripheral configuration, a test passes if specific
criteria are met. Specific configurations may have had particular characteristics that were
addressed on a case-by-case basis. In general, a configuration passes testing if the following
conditions are met:
• The operating system installed without error.
• Manufacturer’s installation instructions or Intel’s best-known methods were used for the
operating system installation.
• No extraordinary workarounds were required during the operating system installation.
• The SSR212CC behaved as expected during and after the operating system
installation.
• Application software installed and executed normally.
• Hardware compatibility tests ran to completion without error.
• Test software suites executed successfully
• Test and data files were created in the correct directories without error.
• Files copied from client to server and back compare to the original with zero errors
reported.
• Clients remain connected to the server system.
• Industry standard test suites run to completion with zero errors reported.
All Intel® Storage System SSR212CC testing was performed using its 2U rail mount chassis.

Hard Disk Drives Intel® Storage System SSR212CC
6. Hard Disk Drives
The hard drives listed in the following table have been tested with the Intel® Storage System
SSR212CC by Intel in its validation labs and/or by individual drive vendors. The following
operating system identifiers are used in the table to specify which OS each drive was tested
under.
Identifier number Operating System
1 Microsoft* Windows* Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, SP1.
2 Microsoft* Windows* Storage Server 2003.
3 Microsoft* Windows* Storage Server 2003, R2.
4 Red Hat* Enterprise Linux* Server Edition 4, Update 2.
5 SuSE* Linux 9.3 Professional (32-bit and 64-bit).
6 SuSE* Enterprise Linux 10.1 (32-bit and 64-bit).
Note that not all hard drives were tested under all operating systems. The following notation is
used in the tested hard drives table below to indicate the support level that Intel provides for a
particular hard drive with a particular operating system:
Number (i.e. 1)
SD (Similar Drive)
IHVT (IHV Tested)
This hard drive has been tested and is supported under the operating system
identified by the operating system identification number.
The hard disk drive is supported, but not tested. This hard drive model/capacity has
not been tested with the SSR212CC, but Intel will support it based on successful
testing of a larger capacity hard drive from the same hard drive family. Intel has high
confidence that this hard drive will function correctly with the server board. This drive
uses the exact same firmware and drivers as a larger capacity hard drive that has
been successfully tested with this server board. The only difference between this
drive and the one that was used in testing is the storage capacity. Intel provides the
same level of support for all hard drives listed in this document, regardless of
whether the drive was tested or not. Customers should always test hard drives as
part of the final system configuration prior to deployment. Given the fact that a larger
capacity hard drive from the same drive family has successfully completed testing on
the SSR212CC, this particular hard drive capacity point will not be tested.
The hard disk drive was tested according to Intel-approved guidelines and test
procedures by the Independent Hardware Vendor (IHV) that manufactured the drive.
Intel provides the same level of support for all hard drives listed in this document,
regardless of whether the drive was tested in an Intel lab or not. IHV test reports
remain the property of the IHV (Intel cannot provide copies of these reports).
