MDS9513 software certified IBM mainframe

[ivybeccukbc]

Hello,

Our IBM mainframe OS is Z-OS version 1.11

We could not find an IBM certification for the Z-OS version 1.11 and the EMC² proposed SAN director software upgrade to version 4.2(5)!

The current installed SAN director software version 4.2(1b) is IBM certified.

We cannot and will not install IBM un-certified software in our mainframe environment.

Does Cisco have a more recent version of NX OS than 4.2.(1b) that is certified IBM mainframe?

Rgds,

Ivy Beccu

Hello,

Thank you for the quick response!

Now we can have the same software update for our San directors, open systems and mainframe.
