Apple MacOS X Support
StorNext 3.5 MDC Server has been validated with Apple Xsan 2.1 clients.
Note: When adding StorNext Storage Manager to a StorNext File System environment, the metadata controller (MDC) must be moved to a supported
platform. If you attempt to install and run a StorNext 3.5 server that is not supported, you do so at your own risk. Quantum strongly recommends against
installing non-supported servers.
*
Windows Distributed LAN Server supports up to 128 distr buted LAN clients.
** Due to a bug in RHEL5, Storage Manager systems will crash when running kernels based on 2.6.18-8. This has been corrected in RHEL5 updates 1 and
2. For additional details, refer to CR 16484 in the Known Issues section of the StorNext 3.5 Release Notes.
‡
StorNext support will transition from HP-UX 11i v2 to 11i v3, and from IBM AIX 5.3 to 6.1 on a future date.

Before using DLT cleaning with DLT-S4 or SDLT 600 drives, configure the library (Scalar i2000 or PX720)
to disable reporting of the media ID. If media ID reporting is not disabled, StorNext will not recognize the
cleaning media (SDLT type 1).
