Limitations

This sections lists limitations or restrictions associated with this release.

Configuring SSM Ports in Auto Mode

Starting with Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.0(1), the SSM front panel ports can no longer be
configured in auto mode. Because auto mode is the default for releases prior to Release 3.0(1), you
should modify the configuration of the ports before upgrading the SAN-OS software image to NX-OS
Release 4.2(7e) to avoid any traffic disruption.

For information on how to reconfigure the SSM ports, refer to the “Reconfiguring SSM Ports Before
Upgrading to NX-OS Release 4.2(7e)” section of the

Cisco MDS 9000 Family Release Notes for Cisco

MDS NX-OS Release 4.2(7e).
