Operating System and Technology Requirements
The HBA requires the operating system (OS) and technology levels, at minimum, listed in
Table 2, “Supported Operating System/Technology Versions ,” on page 11
Note -
If you need to contact Oracle Support, first verify that you have a supported OS installed
on the host system, and install the latest HBA driver, utility, and firmware versions. Updating
the system and HBA to the latest OS, driver, utility, and firmware versions might address the
issue, preventing the need to contact Oracle Support about an issue that has already been fixed.
