Fabric OS and DPM Compatibility Matrix

If a device decommission firmware consistency check is enabled in the encryption group, firmware
downgrades to a Fabric OS version earlier than v6.4. will be blocked until the firmware consistency
check for device decommission feature is disabled.
The firmware consistency check for device decommission is enabled when you execute the
following:
SecurityAdmin:switch> cryptocfg --decommission -container
-initiator
The firmware consistency check for device decommission is disabled when you execute the
following:
SecurityAdmin:switch> cryptocfg --delete –decommissionedkeyids
The success of the operation does not mandate that the firmware consistency check be
disabled for device decommission.
NOTE
When disabling the firmware consistency check, there should be no LUNs with pending
decommission or in a failed state. If the firmware download to a version earlier than Fabric OS 6.4.0
is disallowed because of any LUNs under decommission or in a failed state, you must either
complete decommissioning or remove the offending LUNs before retrying cryptocfg

decommissionedkeyids to disable the firmware consistency check.
NOTE
You should not join a Fabric OS 6.3.0(x) node into an encryption group or eject a node with Fabric
OS 6.4.0 and later when the firmware consistency check for the device decommission feature is
enabled in the encryption group.
Fabric OS and DPM Compatibility Matrix
DPM 3.1 introduces the GKA feature, which is incompatible with the RKM 2.1.1 client. DPM 3.2
offers a solution to resolve this incompatiability issue with the RKM 2.1.1 client. DPM 3.1 client is
compatible with DPM 3.x servers, but is not compatible with RKM 2.x servers.
Because of the limitations associated with the RKM 2.1.1 client and the DPM 3.1 server, it is
recommended that you move to DPM 3.2 server instead of v3.1.
