Preventive Service Planning


Abstract

This document provides a compatibility table for policy-based replication (PBR) and policy-based high availability (PBHA) between IBM Storage Virtualize software levels.

8.5.2 - 8.6.3YYN
8.7.0YYY
8.7.1 and laterNYY
 
Supported versions for different types of replication are as follows:
 
  • Asynchronous policy-based replication is supported in 8.5.2 and later.
  • Policy-based high availability is supported in 8.6.1 and later.
  • 3-site replication using high availability and asynchronous disaster recovery is supported in 8.7.1 and later.
  • Synchronous policy-based replication is supported in 9.1.3 and later.

 

A system running 9.1.2 or later cannot configure high availability on a storage partition that already contains existing resources, if the desired partner system is running an earlier code version. Either configure high availability on the storage partition before creating resources, or upgrade the partner system.

Refer to the Replication topic in the online product documentation to review the supported configurations for each software version.
