1. IBM Fibre Channel Switch Module (FCSM) Restrictions:
- BladeCenter and Cisco FCSM customers should run in normal switch mode, if customer wants to run with BladeCenter and Cisco FCSM in NPV mode, No
IP address change are allowed as this will result in an unrecoverable state for the FCSM that would require an RMA of the switch. Status message will
indicate POST not complete. IP changes can occur in normal switch mode without any issue. This problem will be fixed in the next SAN-OS release
3.2(3).
- Customers running NPV with external fabric switches, such as Cisco MDS 9124, must use the edge-switch configuration with 3.2(1a). Core switch
configuration is fixed in 3.2(2c)
- Refer to ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/san/cisco/mds9216.pdf

The switch Interoperability test was performed per the Fibre Channel Methodologies for Interconnect
(FC-MI) Technical Report version 1.92 which describes common methodologies for facilitating
interoperability in a heterogeneous switch SAN environment.
The MDS family is SANmark 3001and 3002 qualified.
IBM Supports MDS InterOp Mode-1 (FC-MI standard), Mode-2 (Brocade PID=0), Mode-3 (Brocade
PID=1), and Mode-4 (McDATA native). Please refer to the following IBM documnet for more
information:
ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/san/cisco/mds9216.pdf
EMC Supports all MDS InterOp Modes with Brocade and McDATA outlined in the Switched Fabric

required
1. Cisco MDS interop mode 1 supports connectivity of Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches to other Fibre Channel vendor
switches per the FC-MI standard document.
2. Cisco MDS interop mode 2 supports nondisruptive connectivity to Brocade Silkworm 2800 and 3800 switches family with
Core-PID set to 0.
3. Cisco MDS interop mode 3 supports nondisruptive connectivity of all Brocade Silkworm switches including 3900 and 12000
switch family with Core-PID set to 1. We recommend that you use Cisco Fabric Manager for all MDS interop mode types
with Brocade for zone administration.
4. Cisco SAN-OS 3.2(1a) is supported on Brocade swithes running 5.3.0 only.

OL-10416-11
Chapter 4
5. MDS interop mode 4 supports native connectivity to McDATA switches, and is supported for migration purposes. McDATA
software security features such as Fabric Binding are not supported in this mode and must be disabled.
The McDATA/IBM Bladecenter embedded switch in McDATA mode is not supported in interop mode 4. Only the standard
mode (mode 1) is supported. For HP Blade servers with embedded Brocade and McDATA switch Interoperability matrix,
visit: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00758719/c00758719.pdf and
