1For VCS, the following cutover procedure need to be followed:
1a. When ready for cutover first stop all application traffic from all cluster nodes
1b. Wait for migration to reach 100% (This step can be eliminated once the issue is fixed in a future release)
1The following matrices include configurations tested and certified by Cisco Quality Assurance Labs.For configurations other than listed below, please send an RPQ request to "mds-rpq@cisco.com".
1 If Mode1 is configured on 9216i/14+2 HW (LZS) compression will be in effect
2Veritas NetBackup and IBM TSM backup applications are supported only
3On 9222i/18+4 mode1/mode2/mode3 configuration will automatically be converted to "auto" which means H/W (DEFLATE) compression will in effect
4The IPS modules are not supported in Nx-OS 4.x and higher. However, replication between IPS module running SAN-OS 3.x code version to the 4.x supported modules is supported.
