Support Matrix
Supported protocol offload (TOE/iSCSI)
adapters
Standard Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters are supported when used with supported software iSCSI initiators. Hosts
must have a standards compliant iSCSI initiator to access Dell EMC PowerVault ME4 Series storage. Initiator support is provided
by the initiator or operating system vendor.
Dell EMC PowerVault does not support Converged Network Adapters (CNA) in Converged mode. Although Dell EMC
PowerVault does not endorse or support initiators directly, this support matrix provides some useful configuration information
for common initiators.
Dell EMC PowerVault ME4 Series Storage Systems work with any RFC 3720 iSCSI compliant initiators. The initiator must
support all mandatory iSCSI features (IPSec is not required). This information is subject to change without notice. Dell EMC is
not responsible for any errors in this information.
CAUTION: Hardware initiators are not supported by Dell EMC PowerVault ME4 Series Storage Systems.
Read the initiator documentation and Release Notes from the particular vendors, and the Dell EMC PowerVault ME4 Series
Storage System Release Notes for up-to-date configuration recommendations.
