Software and Hardware Requirements This section includes the following topics: • Software Requirements, page 1-10 • Hardware Requirements, page 1-10 Software Requirements All MDS switches in the Cisco SME cluster must be running the current release of Fabric Manager and Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.2(2c) or later, or Cisco NX-OS 4.x software. This includes the following: • The Fabric Manager server must be running Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.2(2c) or later, or Cisco NX-OS 4.x. • The Cisco MDS switches attached to tape devices must be running Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.2(2c) or later, or Cisco NX-OS 4.x. • All switches that include MSM-18/4 modules must be running Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.2(2c) or later, or Cisco NX-OS 4.x software. Hardware Requirements Cisco SME requires at least one encryption service engine in each cluster. The Cisco SME engines on the required modules provide the transparent encryption and compression services to the hosts and storage devices. To take full advantage of the standard and advanced security levels, a smart card reader is required.
