StorNext 5 - StorNext Client Interoperability

Roger L. Beck -

In general back-revision clients (e.g., StorNext 4.3.x clients with StorNext 5.0.x MDC) are supported for the interval of time that is required to upgrade a configuration; with the assumption that once the configuration process is complete, all clients would be at the same level. The following table describes back-revision clients that are supported with this release.

General information on client interoperability:

  • The StorNext MDC must be running an equivalent or more recent version of StorNext than the client is running.
  • All components (e.g. File System, Storage Manager, etc.) installed on the same machine must be running the same version of StorNext.
  • The StorNext DDM mover component must be at the same version at that running on the MDC.
