  • 1.  Definitive global mirror compatibility matrix

    Posted Tue September 30, 2025 07:51 AM
    Edited by stuart wade Tue September 30, 2025 07:53 AM

    Trying to find a document or page that shows all the code levels that are compatible for global mirror partnerships, something like the firmware matrix that shows all the levels. 

    I know 8.4.0 to 8.7.0 (inclusive) are compatible as per the latest page, but i have a requirement to upgrade some V7000 units to 8.5.x.x and cannot find out how far back if running 8.5.x.x what levels i can mirror to.

    Any help or guidance gratefully received, Thanks Stu

    It's a bit of a cop out... but this might be useful for historical versions of the compatibility page:
