Any hardware compitability list available for IBM Flex ?
I am not able to see something from the below link

This paper demonstrates how the new IBM PureFlex System, using the IBM Storwize V7000 Unified external storage for block storage and Symantec Veritas Storage Foundation 6.0, results in enhanced storage-volume management.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PureSystems, says IBM PureFlex is a combination of server, network and storage, so you need to look at the storage component inside, so this URL as with the other URL says it contains IBM Storwize V7000 Disk System and this is on the Symantec HCL.

No. As far as harware compatibility, the server does not play are role.
For software compatibility, only the OS on the machine/server plays a role.
Server make/model and cpu count plays a role as far as licensing is concerned.

The link in your post does not work.
Latest HCL for Linux can be found here: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH211575
When I look at IBM Flex on the IBM web site, it does not seem to be a Raid Array. Right?
This means you will not find in an HCL for Raid Arrays.

Its a machine. See more details:

Correct.
Servers/machines are not listed in HCL.
Arrays are.
Please mark Mike's post as solution.

Furthermore We only need to see the ARRAY in HCL (no need to see HBA/CPU model/etc) ?

The Linux 6.1 HCL does not list servers, it lists processor architecture, so you will not find IBM Flex - it lists "Intel EM64T architecture"

Yes this is an Intel chip, but pretty much all main processes are supported, so as Marianne says, it is the array that you need to lookup support for, not the server.

MIke : The SAN is supported by the latest HCL
IBM DS8100 SAN
