The ESS is now supported
on selected Cisco UCS servers (non-NEBS) and Sun Netra Servers (NEBS)
running the custom Cisco MITG Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) v5.5 operating
system (OS).
For detailed server
specifications and external storage requirements for stand-alone
and cluster deployment for the ESS, refer the External Storage System
Overview chapter of the External
Storage Server Installation and Administration Guide. For RHEL installation
information, refer to the Cisco
MITG RHEL v5.5 OS Application Note.
IMPORTANT:
The Cisco MITG RHEL
v5.5 OS is a custom image that contains only those software packages
required to support compatible Cisco MITG external software applications.
Users must not install any other applications on servers running
the Cisco MITG v5.5 OS. For detailed software compatibility information,
refer to the Cisco MITG
RHEL v5.5 OS Application Note.
