Hardware and Software Support – The LSI Logic 4 Gbit/s family of FC
host adapter supports most major software operating systems, such as
Sun Solaris (2.6 and greater), Windows Server (2000, XP, 2003), Linux
(RedHat, SuSE, Fedora), NetWare, and UnixWare. These host adapters
utilize the Fusion-MPT architecture for all major operating systems.
Fusion-MPT architecture offers the unique feature of having a single
binary, operating system driver that supports FC devices and other I/O
interfaces, such as Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and U320 SCSI. Refer
to the Fusion-MPT Device Management User’s Guide for details
regarding software support for this family of host adapters.
Before you choose any of these FC host adapters, make sure your
system meets the specific hardware and software requirements shown in
Table 2.2 .
