Disk Storage Interoperability Matrix

This chapter lists storage systems qualified by the Original Storage Vendors (OSMs), Cisco's Partners, Cisco's Data Center Interoperability Engineering for supporting seamless deployment of Storage Area Networks using the MDS 9000 family of Fibre Channel Switch and Director class products.

The MDS family include all switch hardware, except for the End-of-Service models listed below:

MDS 9020 EOS September 2007

MDS 9120, 9140, 9216- EOS October 2008

MDS 9216A, IPS4/8 - EOL announced in February 2009 with EOS expected in August 2009

MDS Supervisor Generation-1 is not supported on 4.x code versions.

¹MDS9216i is not supported on 5.0(1a) and later code versions.

²IBM Fibre Channel Switch Module (FCSM) Restrictions:

²- BladeCenter and Cisco FCSM customers should run in normal switch mode, if customer wants to run with BladeCenter and Cisco FCSM in NPV mode, No IP address change are allowed as this will result in an unrecoverable state for the FCSM that would require an RMA of the switch. Status message will indicate POST not complete. IP changes can occur in normal switch mode without any issue. This problem will be fixed in the next SAN-OS release 3.2(3).

²- Customers running NPV with external fabric switches, such as Cisco MDS 9124, must use the edge-switch configuration with 3.2(1a). Core switch configuration is fixed in 3.2(2c)
