--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.0 Prerequisites and dependencies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Certain features/function are co-dependent with either Brocade Switch
   firmware and/or Storage Target device firmware. Consult your Lenovo
   Technical Sales team for details on such features. Examples: NVMe over 
   Fibre Channel, Trunking (aka Port Aggregation)
   
 - For customers who may have end-of-life HBAs in a configuration alongside
   more contemporary HBAs, the OOB driver for the newer HBA can be used with 
   the legacy HBA. Such support ends concurrent with the end of support for 
   the legacy HBA.
