Chapter 2. Software Compatibility Matrices
Table 2.1 indicates the compatible versions of element manager software and storage system
software. Command View EVA v3.2 is compatible with several versions of VCS; however, the
recommended VC
S version is VCS v3.020. If you are running a version of VCS that is not
listed in this table (for instance, VCS v1.01), you should upgrade to a later version of VCS.
Caution
After you have
upgraded a storage system to v3.020 (or later) , you should not downgrade
the initializ
ed storage system to v2.xxx. If you attempt to downgrade an initialized storage
system, you wi
ll lose any configuration information or data in that storage system. All
existing dat
a will be destroyed when you downgrade from v3.xxx to v2.00x.
See Table 3.4 for a description of the proper storage system software upgrade paths.
