SAN Client on Dell PowerEdge servers - Host HBA compatibility

    Hi,

     

    Operating System vendor compatibility is sufficient for the HBA. So if MS supports it, NBU supports it.

     

    From HCL

     

    1. A NetBackup SAN Client supports any HBA and is used in conjunction with a NetBackup Fibre Transport Media Server. The HBA support model for NetBackup SAN Client is an "OPEN" model. All host bus adapters (HBA), switches, bridges, and routers are supported in a SAN environment. This means that if a Fibre Channel component is causing a problem, Symantec will work with the component vendor in an attempt to resolve the problem, but resolution is not guaranteed. Symantec and most hardware vendors listed are members of TSANet.
