1. LeftHand platforms are supported by Matrix OE as VM backing store only
2. All LeftHand platforms are supported by Matrix OE, and specific testing has been done to recommend the platforms
noted for each release as mentioned in the table. End-to-end support for LeftHand storage use by the hypervisor is
certified by LeftHand & VMware/Microsoft as listed in the respective OS compatibility tables.

Note: VM Backing Store means the Virtual Machine uses the hypervisor file system (VMFS, NTFS), which resides on the
LeftHand SAN. Matrix OE does not support raw access by VMs to LUNs on iSCSI SAN (including LHN platforms). Use as
VM Backing Store is different than supporting a physical server booting from (or accessing data volumes via) iSCSI SAN.
Matrix OE recommends use of FC SAN volumes for boot, and also supports local disk boot. Environments requiring access
to iSCSI data volumes by physical servers can do so via appropriate OS/application mechanisms after Matrix has ensured
the logical server is hosted on a physical server and given network access.
