Operating System and Technology Requirements

The HBA requires the operating system (OS) and technology levels, at minimum, listed in Table 1-2.

Note:

If you need to contact Oracle Support, first verify that you have a supported OS installed on the host system, and install the latest HBA driver, utility, and firmware versions. Updating the system and HBA to the latest OS, driver, utility, and firmware versions might address the issue, preventing the need to contact Oracle Support about an issue that has already been fixed.
