Overview
This document contains information regarding compatibility and interoperability for a "configuration set" of Storage Area Network (SAN) components. A configuration set is a collection of components that
are compatible in a particular context. For example, configuration sets of type "array-os" contain components that are compatible from an array-os perspective. An example of an array-os config set is the
"EVA4400 Microsoft Windows Server 2008 IA64" config set. It describes the components that are currently supported for the EVA4400 array in a Windows 2008 IA64 environment.
It is very important that you note the details of the components listed in these tables, as they describe the specific attributes of supported component versions. It is also very important to examine the notes
in each section, because they may further limit or clarify supported configurations.
