Listed below are the available operating systems, platforms, and applications specifically tested by Symantec to be compatible with Storage Exec 5.5.

Please note the following guidelines regarding this Software Compatibility List (SCL):

Symantec will cooperate with 3rd party vendors and attempt to assist in the diagnosis of problems found between the 3rd party and Symantec products. Symantec Technical Support on the combination of Symantec and 3rd party products listed in this document is conditional on the 3rd party product being supported by the original manufacturer or vendor. If the original vendor has ceased providing support for a version of the product, Symantec also will no longer be able to provide support on that product in combination with the Symantec products.

The contents of this document including 3rd party applications, databases, operating systems, in combination with Symantec products represent what has been tested in Symantec labs, or in Symantec supervised partner labs, but is not intended to be a complete list of supported products and versions. Manufacturers of these products may frequently release minor version updates to their products as maintenance during their product's normal life cycle. (e.g. version 1.x.x.x), and these may not be explicitly listed in this document. In these situations where the base or major version of the product is listed as supported in this document but the minor maintenance update is not, Symantec will provide "reasonable effort" support on these versions until specific testing of them has completed.

Symantec provides best efforts to qualify Storage Exec with as many different operating systems, service packs, hardware platforms, database application service packs, and other applications as possible. However, due to the number of combinations, it is not possible to test all combinations for compatibility. If a particular service pack or version is not listed as specifically tested by Symantec, it may work fine, but has not been explicitly tested by Symantec with Storage Exec.

If a particular piece of software is not listed as being supported, a request for additional support can be made via the Enhancement Web Site:    http://enhancement.symantec.com

Support is conditional according to the notes corresponding to the individual line item. See Note Reference Section below for details
