Cisco MDS NX-OS Release Compatibility Matrix for Storage Service Interface Images

---

Date: December 21, 2012

Part Number: OL-9150-57

This document provides compatibility information between Cisco MDS NX-OS and Cisco MDS SAN-OS software releases, and Storage Service Interface (SSI) releases.

---

Note As of NX-OS Release 4.1(1b), SAN-OS has been changed to NX-OS. References to SAN-OS releases before 4.1(1b) still apply.

---

---

Note We recommend that you upgrade to the latest SSI image for your NX-OS release. This document identifies the latest recommended SSI image for NX-OS releases and the applications that are supported. For information on installing and upgrading your SSI image, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Release Notes for Storage Services Interface Images.

---

---

Note For information on which SSI image is supported with a specific EMC Invista version, see the latest EMC Support Matrix available on EMC PowerLink.
