# Qualification Matrix for HVM Clusters Managed By HPE Morpheus Software

This document contains the list of hardware and software that has been tested and confirmed to support HVM Clusters managed by HPE Morpheus Software at scale. **Items not included in this list may be compatible but are untested.** Using untested hardware or software may limit the scope of support services available from HPE support teams.

New hardware and software are continually being tested and certified. This document will be updated over time as new hardware SKUs are confirmed compatible and performant at scale.

NOTE

There is a self-validation program for partners to quickly validate their solutions for compatibility with HVM. For more information about the program, see [HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software self-validation program](https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/a00155725enw?jumpid=in_pdfviewer-psnow).

1 Applications have been validated within the bounds of the supported HPE Morpheus Software functionality. Always check the HPE Morpheus Software feature list to determine whether specific functionality is supported by the HVM hypervisor (ex. shared disk access).

2 Protection of NFS and GFS2 datastores

3 For the manual pool use case where desktop lifecycle is not managed and instant clones are not applicable. Improved user experience, increased user density, and cost efficiency with vGPU support in future HPE Morpheus VM Essentials releases.

4 SimpliVity and HPE Morpheus Software do not yet support Veeam image-based and agent-based backups

Most modern applications like databases were designed with very “loose” dependance on hardware infrastructure. They can typically run on a variety of hypervisors including virtual machines and containers. The respective ISV vendor typically only specifies the supported underlying operating system (Guest OS) but does not require certification of any hypervisor. However, there can be specific features that a customer deployment of these applications requires at a hypervisor or infrastructure level. For example, a Microsoft SQL Server Failover cluster instance requires a shared disk between multiple SQL Server VMs. Oracle, similarly, requires shared disks for an Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) setup. Therefore, it needs to be always validated whether the specific deployment requires certain features and whether these are supported by VM Essentials in its latest release.

Select ISV applications require “full stack” certifications including OS, hypervisor, compute and storage devices, or even the specific storage connectivity protocol. SAP HANA and related SAP applications are a typical example; so are some Healthcare Electronic Health Record (EDR) applications. If you or your customer plans on running one of these applications, contact your HPE account team.
