Why each option
Veritas DMP (Dynamic Multi-Pathing) was removed from NetApp's SAN support matrix beginning with clustered Data ONTAP 8.2, making it the unsupported SAN component among the listed options.
Windows Server 2012 remained a supported SAN host OS in the NetApp IMT for clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 and later.
vSphere 5.1 remained a supported hypervisor platform for SAN connectivity in the NetApp IMT for clustered Data ONTAP 8.2.
Veritas DMP was explicitly dropped from the NetApp Interoperability Matrix Tool (IMT) for clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 and later. NetApp's clustered ONTAP shifted SAN multipathing support to native OS MPIO solutions and NetApp's own DSM drivers. All other listed options - Windows Server 2012, vSphere 5.1, RHEL 6.2, and AIX 7.1 - remained on the supported host list for that release.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 remained a supported SAN host OS in the NetApp IMT for clustered Data ONTAP 8.2.
AIX 7.1 remained a supported SAN host OS in the NetApp IMT for clustered Data ONTAP 8.2.
