Support Matrix

RAID and non-RAID Controller Supported
Servers, Operating Systems, Firmware, and
Driver Versions
Starting with OpenManage Server Administrator version 5.0, only the enhanced Storage Management Service is supported. The Storage
Management Service allows you to congure and manage your storage devices from within Server Administrator.
NOTE: The Storage Management Service mentioned in this guide refers to the enhanced Storage Management Service. Server
Administrator no longer supports the basic Storage Management Service (also known as Array Manager).
Most of the systems management releases support management of RAID controllers in the form of PERC cards, and some systems
management releases also support SATA controllers. System administrators responsible for monitoring the compatibility of their systems'
storage devices need a clear matrix that shows the elements that are compatible with a particular storage controller. Each storage
controller version in turn supports a specic array of elements, including:
• Version of the Storage Management Service
• Dell system
• Firmware version number required for a particular controller
• Supported operating systems, where each operating system requires a specic driver
For more information on Storage Management Services see the Dell Server Administrator Storage Management User's Guide at dell.com/
openmanagemanuals.
The following types of controllers are included in this section:
• The RAID controller card group contains the following controllers: H730P, H745, HBA330, HBA330 MMZ, AND S140.
• The RAID controller card group supports the following operating systems: Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, VMware
ESXi 6.5, VMware ESXi 6.0 U3, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP3.
