If you've got an old Dell EqualLogic PS Series SAN, then you'll need Oracle Java for running the admin GUI: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000139168/dell-equa...

Thank you! This is a great example -- interesting that a SAN would be a cause for this kind of requirement, but I can understand that.

  • I'd blame Dell for using crappy software. That particular software checks the version of Java and won't run if the version is lower (which is expected), but the check also fails on newer versions which is just stupid.
