Customers may have built a mixed environment over time and would like to know if SPS 6.0 could manage SPNAF 5.8, and vice versa.
The following scenarios are allowed:
- Version 5.8 Information Server managing the 5.8 Normal Servers
- Version 6.0 Information Server managing the 6.0 Normal Servers
The following scenarios are not allowed:
- Version 5.8 Information Server managing the 6.0 Normal Servers
- Version 6.0 Information Server managing the 5.8 Normal Servers
Additionally, ServerProtect does not support managing different editions of Normal Servers. For example, the ServerProtect for Microsoft Windows/Novell Netware (SPNT) Information Server should not manage ServerProtect for EMC Celerra (SPEMC) Normal Servers because the Information Server is in charge of deploying the product patch, service pack, and hot fix, which cannot be applied to different editions of Normal Servers.
