Operating system support

There are slight differences in the operating systems (OSs) that are supported on the driver, on the 
Host Connectivity Manager (HCM), and the Brocade Command Line Utility (BCU), and the HCM 
agent.

Ethernet Link Layer Driver OS support

 lists the operating systems supported on the driver. 

NOTE
The Brocade Command Line Utility (BCU) is a standalone application that is installed as part of the 
driver package. The BCU is used primarily for managing adapters installed on a local machine. The 
BCU is supported across all operating system versions listed in 

Supported drivers vary with the operating system being used. For example, for Windows, the 
Storport miniport driver is supported (there is no support for the SCSI miniport driver) and for 
Solaris, only the Leadville-based driver is supported.
