Interoperability Matrix for Cisco Nexus and MDS 9000 Products

Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

^3.For VCS, the following cutover procedure need to be followed:

a. When ready for cutover first stop all application traffic from all cluster nodes

b. Wait for migration to reach 100% (This step can be eliminated once the issue is fixed in a future release)

c. Shutdown VCS

d. Click “Finish” in DMM GUI

e. Once complete change zoning and cutover to NS (Follow the general procedure from this step)

FC-IP SAN Extension

The Cisco MDS 9250i switch, the 24/10 Port SAN Extension Module, the MSM-18/4, and SSN-16 modules support Auto, Mode1 and Mode2 compression modes. All of these modes internally use the hardware compression engine of the module. By default, Auto mode is enabled. Mode2 uses a larger batch size for compression than Auto mode, which results in higher compression throughput. However, Mode2 incurs a small latency because of the compression throughput. For the deployments where aggressive throughput is most important, Mode2 should be used. Mode1 gives the better compression ratio when compared to all other modes. For the deployments where compression ratio is most important, Mode1 should be used. Auto mode is similar to Mode2 with respect to the algorithm used for compression except that the batching is not done in Auto mode.
