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.

** 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.
