Downgrading to a license without Ethernet fabrics
The following table list the available downgrade paths.
Before you downgrade to a license with fewer or no Ethernet Fabrics, make sure your application
meets the following requirements:
• Delete all discovered VCS Clusters with more than two nodes.

unmonitored).
NOTE
If you combine more than one downgrade option, you must meet the requirements for all
downgrade options.
