Summary

TS7700 Code, Hardware and Grid Interoperability Matrix

Objective

This Technote contains a matrix showing the interoperability between specific code levels and hardware releases of the IBM TS7700 family: controller engines, cache models and backend tape libraries and drives. Furthermore it shows the code level dependencies for different field scenarios and supports you in planning:

Code upgrades on a single cluster

Code upgrades within a grid

Joining a new, empty cluster into an existing grid

Merging clusters or entire grids with existing data

Replacing server engines or frames (server engine + cache)

Supported tape backend switches
