HBA/iSCSI/Raid/NICs

Synchronism & VTL: Certified HBA/SCSI Cards, RAID Controllers, & NICs
iSCSI Storage Server: iSCSI Initiators

All devices on this Certification Matrix have been certified in our Interoperability Lab or within our Partners' Labs. Storage Engine supports several different Linux Kernel versions. Therefore, we may or may not have tested with the kernel version that you utilize.

In our experience, it is a very rare occurrence that an industry-standard device would not work with a Storage Engine product on the first try, provided that the device is properly configured.

Note: Due to time out restrictions on many HBAs, Synchronism high availability configurations require the use of the Storage Engine DynaPath option.
