Centera SDK support for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2

Yes, Windows 2008 Server R2 is supported in the normal way.

That's great to know. Thanks a lot!

Wondering when Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 will be stated as supported in the Release Notes?

We simply state that we support Windows Server 2008 - we do not restrict this by revision level. So, in effect, it already is covered by the current release notes.

Thanks, it does help clarify what's really stated as supported.

All,

I must clarify Graham's post.  At the time, we believed that there were no issues with Windows 2008 Server R2 compatibility.  Our QA team has done some initial testing and encountered errors.  Therefore, at this time EMC cannot state that the Centera SDK supports Windows 2008 Server R2.  We are diligently working on fixing these issues so that we can claim support by Q4 2011.

Please stay tuned for an official announcement and an updated compatibility matrix.

If you have any questions, please contact me at jason.brown@emc.com

Can you please clarify, what kinds of errors were you encountering, which SDK build (32- or 64-bit) was affected and when the fix is going to be available?

Thanks.

All,

Centera SDK 3.3 is now available for download from the EMC Developer Network.  All relevant documentation can be found on Powerlink.

This release supports:

• Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 (32-bit and 64-bit)  
• Microsoft Windows 2008 Server SP2 (32-bit and 64-bit)  
• Microsoft Windows 2008 Server R2 SP1, Standard Edition (64-bit)

Thanks,

Jason

Hi,

Is this new SDK compatible with all  Windows platforms or is it strictly restricted to the precise 3 listed in your post ? The releases notes mention those 3 as a requirement.

Regards,

Didier

No, previous ones as well, check the release notes for the full list

The "Client software platform" section of the Release Notes only list 2008 SP2, 2008 R2 SP1 and Windows 7 Enterprise SP1.

No mention of Windows Server 2003 for example.

SDK 3.3 currently supports:

• Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 (32-bit and 64-bit)   
• Microsoft Windows 2008 Server SP2 (32-bit and 64-bit)   
• Microsoft Windows 2008 Server R2 SP1, Standard Edition (64-bit)

These are the only platforms currently supported by SDK 3.3. 

We will be qualifying additional platforms throughout the year, and the compability matrix / release notes will be updated accordingly.

Hello - Is the FPLibrary.jar in SDK 3.3 for Windows backward compatible with SDK 3.2 for UNIX?

Which version of FPLibrary.jar (3.2 or 3.3) is recommended if the software needs to support both SDK 3.3 (Windows) and SDK 3.2 (non-Windows/Unix) at the same time?

The file size of FPLibrary.jar from both versions are the same - Is there any difference other than the MANIFEST.

Hi Jenny,

The FPLibrary.jar for both the SDK 3.3 for Windows and SDK 3.2 for Unix are identical (same md5sum).

Thanks,

Jason
