CISCO MDS 9000 NX-OS RELEASE NOTES As part of the NX-OS 5.0(4d) image updates provided by HP, the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Release Notes for Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 5.0(4d) have been included in the bundle. For a complete list and detailed description of features included in the NX-OS 5.0(4d) release, refer to the Cisco release notes as appropriate. Note: For the latest supported HP storage products, refer to the HP StorageWorks Single Point of Connectivity Knowledge (SPOCK) website at http://www.hp.com/storage/spock. You must sign up for an HP Passport to be granted access. REBRANDING OF SAN-OS TO NX-OS Cisco MDS 9000 SAN-OS software is rebranded to Cisco MDS 9000 NX-OS software starting with release 4.1(1b). Software prior to NX-OS 4.1(1b) will continue using the name "SAN-OS" and remain on the 3.x code stream. NX-OS is designed to interoperate with switches running SAN-OS software. When mixing NX-OS, SAN-OS, and FabricWare in the same fabric, HP strongly recommends upgrading all fabric switches to the latest supported software version in order to maintain a consistent version throughout the SAN. All switches in the same major NX-OS/SANOS/FabricWare family must use the same software version. Two successive NX-OS/SANOS/FabricWare versions can be used in a fabric temporarily while upgrading switch software. Do not enable new switch features until the upgrade is complete. For new NX-OS features, switch limitations, and caveats, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Release Notes. Fabric Manager is not embedded in the NX-OS software. Fabric Manager is available from a CD-ROM that ships with the switch, or provided by HP in the NX-OS image bundle. Fabric Manager Update Installer is provided in the HP NX-OS image bungle. 3 MDS 9000 Series Multilayer Director & Multilayer Fabric Switches Release Notes
