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.
