What are the controllers that are currently in the certification queue and when do we expect them to get certified?
Please see the attached list of controllers that are currently undergoing Virtual SAN certification
Note: In many cases, we rely on our partners to provide driver/firmware fixes for controller issues so if there are delays in receiving these updates from partners, the certification timelines may get pushed out.
