Interfamily compatibility
SRDF supports connectivity between different operating environments and arrays.
Arrays running HYPERMAX OS can connect to legacy arrays running older operating
environments. In mixed configurations where arrays are running different versions,
SRDF features of the lowest version are supported.
VMAX3 arrays can connect to:
l
VMAX 250F, 450F, 850F, and 950F arrays running HYPERMAX OS
l
VMAX 100K, 200K, and 400K arrays running HYPERMAX OS
l
VMAX 10K, 20K, and 40K arrays running Enginuity 5876 with an Enginuity ePack
Note
When you connect between arrays running different operating environments,
limitations may apply. Information about which SRDF features are supported, and
applicable limitations for 2-site and 3-site solutions is available in the SRDF Interfamily
Connectivity Information .
This interfamily connectivity allows you to add the latest hardware platform/operating
environment to an existing SRDF solution, enabling technology refreshes.
Different operating environments offer different SRDF features.
