Requirements
To install and use HIT/ME, your environment must meet the firmware and software requirements listed in the following table.
You cannot use an unsupported instance of an application (such as SQL) on the same computer as a supported instance. Doing
so might cause HIT/ME to operate incorrectly. HIT/ME supports only the host bus adapters (HBAs) specified in the following
table:
NOTE:
During installation, the HIT/ME kit disables the MPIO Path Verification for devices claimed by the Dell EqualLogic
MPIO DSM. This step prevents a potential problem that could introduce a delay in reconnecting to iSCSI volumes during a
Dell EqualLogic PS Series firmware update or controller failover.
