zfs discuss - Jul 2007 - ZFS on CLARiiON SAN Hardware?

Does anyone on the list have definitive information on whether ZFS works
with CLARiiON devices?

According to the EMC support matrix, Solaris 10 11/06  ZFS is
supported...both in SPARC and X86 environments on CLARiiON Hardware as
of at least 4/2007.  See
http://www.emc.com/partnersalliances/partner_pages/pdf/300-000-607_a06_e
lccnt_0.pdf, reference pages 25 and 141.

I was able to dig up this post over at Sun.com, but it''s not terribly
definitive...
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5179681&tstart=0, though
the basic conclusion seems to be that ZFS does not work on CLARiiON
devices.

If someone would like to look at the core file I''ll be happy to send it
along off-list.  Also of note, is that I set the same thing up on a Sun
Fire X4200 M2 the other day and was able to create a zpool on the same
CLARiiON device.

If zpool dumps core, then it is bugged.  Please file one.
