Before performing a downgrade, make sure that you revert the RCSN timer value in your network to the
Note
default value. Failure to do so will disable the links across your VSANs and other devices.
Compatibility across various Cisco MDS SAN-OS releases during an upgrade or downgrade is supported
by conf-check provided by CFS. If you attempt to downgrade from Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.0,
you are prompted with a conf-check warning. You are required to disable RSCN timer distribution
support before you downgrade.
By default, the RSCN timer distribution capability is disabled and is therefore compatible when
upgrading from any Cisco MDS SAN-OS release earlier to 3.0.
