INTRODUCTION
This guide provides supportability and compatibility information for Isilon software and hardware. For certication and
compatibility information for OneFS and third-party software and hardware products, see the Isilon Third-Party Software
and Hardware Compatibility Guide.
EMC Isilon recommends that customers run the Target Code version of OneFS. A OneFS release is designated as Target
Code after it satises specic criteria, which includes production time in the eld, deployments across all supported
node platforms, and other quality metrics. To ensure that your clusters are running the most stable and reliable version
of OneFS, upgrade to the latest Target Code available for the OneFS family that meets your business needs.
Target Code represents minimum OneFS release recommendations and does not take into account unique storage
workows. When considering which version of OneFS to adopt, be sure to review your business needs with your
EMC Isilon account representative. You may also want to install a later version of OneFS to take advantage of new or
improved functionality.
For the list of Target Code versions of OneFS, see the Current Isilon Software Releases document.

ISILON SYNCIQ
ISILON SyncIQ
SyncIQ delivers extremely fast
replication of millions of les and
terabytes of data over the WAN and
LAN. SyncIQ enables replication
jobs to be parallelized and evenly
distributed across all sending and
all receiving nodes in the Isilon
storage clusters.
The table below shows the versions of OneFS that can be synchronized using
SyncIQ. In versions of OneFS prior to 7.0, when synchronizing les between
clusters, the target cluster must be running a version of OneFS that is the
same or newer than the version of OneFS that is running on the source cluster.
For example, SyncIQ can synchronize les if the source cluster is running
OneFS 6.5 and the target cluster is running OneFS 6.5 or later.
Beginning with OneFS 7.0, a source cluster running OneFS 7.0 can
synchronize with a target cluster running OneFS 6.5 or later.
For information about SyncIQ, see the Isilon SyncIQ webpage.

NODE CLASS COMPATIBILITY
The following table lists compatible Isilon node classes in OneFS 7.2.1. Node class compatibility enables you to
deploy a newer-generation node to a cluster that contains nodes from an earlier generation. For example, if your
cluster already has a node pool made up of Isilon X200 nodes, you can dene a compatibility that enables you to
add an X210 node to the same node pool. Compatibilities for S200/ S210, X200/X210, X400/X410, and NL400/
NL410 nodes are supported. Compatible node generations must have identical HDD and SSD layouts and must
have a compatible memory conguration.

NODE PROVISIONING (ONEFS 7.x)
CTO NODES
For congure-to-order (CTO)
nodes, customers select a base
chassis model and then specify
the number of SSD drives, the
amount of memory, and the NIC
card that they want to include. CTO
nodes are available for the NL400,
S200, S210, X200, X400, and X410
platforms.
OneFS 7.0
Beginning in OneFS 7.0, Isilon nodes are automatically assigned to node
pools in the cluster based on node type. This autoprovisioning optimizes the
performance and reliability of the le system. Nodes are not autoprovisioned
until at least three nodes of an equivalence class are added to the cluster.
If you have added only two nodes of an equivalence class to your cluster,
there is no communication between the nodes until a third node of the same
equivalence class is added.
For information about node pools and autoprovisioning, see the OneFS
Administration Guide for your version of OneFS.
OneFS 7.2
In OneFS 7.2, you can specify compatibilities between nodes of different
generations; specically, between Isilon S200 and similarly congured
Isilon S210 nodes, and between X400 and similarly congured X410 nodes.
Compatibilities allow newer generation nodes to be joined to existing node
pools made up of older generation nodes. After you add three or more newer
generation nodes, you can delete the compatibility between the older and
newer node types so that OneFS can autoprovision the new nodes into
their own node pools. This enables you to take advantage of the speed and
efciency characteristics of the newer node types in their own node pools.
Non-CTO and CTO equivalance-class nodes
The following table shows the non-CTO and CTO (congure-to-order) nodes
that are equivalent, arranged by equivalence class. The nodes in the same
equivalence class are provisioned into the same node pool. For example,
IQ 36000X (non-CTO) and X400-36 TB (CTO)—the nodes in Equivalence
Class 3—are provisioned into the same node pool.

DRIVE FIRMWARE PACKAGE UPDATES
The following table lists the drives that are updated by the Isilon Drive Firmware Packages. (If your cluster is running
OneFS 7.1.1 or later, update the drive rmware of nodes with bootash drives by installing the latest Drive Support
Package.) Drive Firmware Package updates are cumulative; all the drives in this table are compatible with Isilon
software and hardware. Drive Firmware Packages are provided by Isilon Technical Support. Depending on the version of
OneFS you are running, the Drive Firmware Package might also include:
• A patch to add support to OneFS for new drives. This patch enables nodes containing the specied drives to
pass the On-site Verication Test (OVT).
• A patch required on some older versions of OneFS to add support for the drive rmware update installer.
For information about installing and applying Drive Firmware Packages—as well as information about preparing OneFS
prior to updating drive rmware—see the Isilon Drive Firmware Package Release Notes.

The table below lists SFP/SFP+ transceivers that have been certied by Isilon or have been reported by other sources to
work with Isilon nodes.
Important: Because of the quantity and variety of SFP/SFP+ transceivers that exist, Isilon cannot test or qualify all
the transceivers that are available. It is possible that some SFP/SFP+ transceivers that have been reported to work by
other sources might not work in all environments. You should contact your Isilon sales representative if you have any
