Running Storage Applications on the MSM-18/4
The Cisco MDS 9000 18/4-Port Multiservice Module (MSM-18/4) does not support multiple, concurrent
storage applications. Only one application, such as SME or DMM, can run on the MSM-18/4 at a time.
RSPAN Traffic Not Supported on CTS Ports on 8-Gbps Switching Modules
An inter-switch link (ISL) that is enabled for Cisco TrustSec (CTS) encryption must be brought up in
non-CTS mode to support remote SPAN (RSPAN) traffic on the following modules:
DS-X9248-96K9: Cisco MDS 9000 48-Port 8-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module
DS-X9224-96K9: Cisco MDS 9000 24-Port 8-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module
DS-X9248-48K9: Cisco MDS 9000 4/44-Port Host-Optimized 8-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching
Module
If the ISL link is brought up with CTS enabled, random packets drops of both RSPAN traffic and normal
traffic will occur on the receiver port switch.
I/O Accelerator Feature Limitations
IOA does not support the following NX-OS features:
Devices with NPV and NPIV enabled
F port trunking
F port channeling
Support for FCIP Compression Modes
In Cisco NX-OS Release 4.2(1b) and later, FCIP compression mode 1 and compression mode 3 are not
supported on the Cisco MSM-18/4 module and on the SSN-16 module.
Saving Copies of the Running Kickstart and System Images
After you upgrade to MDS NX-OS Release 4.2(1b), you are not allowed to delete, rename, move, or
overwrite the kickstart and system images that are in the current system bootvar settings on an active or
standby MDS Supervisor-2 module on any Cisco MDS 9500 Series switch. This restriction does not
apply to the integrated supervisor module on the MDS 9200 and MDS 9100 series switches.
