Hardware requirements

Licensed machine code (LMC)

The N3240 requires LMC level 8.1, or later. Some N3240 features and functions may

not be available or supported in all environments. Current information on supported

environments, prerequisites, and minimum operating systems levels is available at

http://www.ibm.com/servers/storage/nseries

Current license terms for the machine code provided with this product prohibit

transfer of the machine code without approval from NetApp.

Licensed functions

Data ONTAP (feature) is required on every N3240 platform. In addition, for dual-

node models the CFO function is required; the Data ONTAP Essentials feature

includes CFO.

Licensed functions require the selection of N3240 Model A14 or Model A24 features

and the acquisition of the corresponding IBM 2870 Model 573 or Model 574,

respectively, function authorization features.

Software requirements

Current information on servers, operating systems, host adapters, and connectivity

products supported by the N3240 are available at

The required 2870 license features are the same as for the equivalent 2857 Model

A14 and Model A24.

Limitations

• The N3240 is supported only in rack installations.

• This product is functional with the System i and OpenPower® platforms.

However, on the System i, support is available only on Linux on Power® and AIX

partitions, not i5/OS®.

• Current license terms for the machine code provided with this product prohibit

transfer of the machine code without approval from NetApp.
