NOTE: Please consult the software product compatibility guide(s) for additional support details such as product version information, driver details,
firmware revisions, patch levels, etc. Due to differences in support, it is highly recommended that you verify which servers and OS’s are supported
by your HBA or controller by referring to the QuickSpecs at: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/platforms/storage.html.

See below for information on the Extended Solution Interoperability (ESI) and Tape Automation Compatibility (TAC) categories:
Extended Solution Interoperability (ESI): HP performs on-going interoperability and extensive solution testing with these applications to provide fully certified
and supported data protection solutions that include HP tape libraries, autoloaders, disk backup systems, and virtual library systems. Extensive solution details
including operating system details, host bus adapter and driver information, SAN infrastructure, and extended tape library feature support can be found throughout
this document.
Tape Automation Compatibility (TAC): These products are verified for compatibility with HP tape libraries, autoloaders, disk backup systems, and virtual library
systems.
This document shows compatibility for SAN media servers. A SAN media server is defined as a server with direct access to backup devices. Other operating systems
may be supported within EBS by the respective ISVs as LAN clients, where a LAN client does not have direct access to the backup device but is backed up over a LAN
connection to a server with direct access to backup devices.
Additional technical information can be found in the Enterprise Backup Solution Design Guide and various Backup Application Implementation Guides located on the
web at www.hp.com/go/ebs
. For information on stand-alone tape products and compatibility, go to spock.corp.hp.com/.
