Hello, I'm tring to establish an IP relationship between a FS5300 4662-7H2 and a old V5020 2078-224.

The creation of the partnership works but on the 5020 it remains in partial state and on the 5300 it is in error.

Of course the firmware versions are pretty far apart: 8.6.3.0 and 8.2.1.11.

Could it be they are incompatible ?

I did not find anything in the IP partnership requirements....

Thank you if someone has any idea

somehow I cannot see the content of your post

You will not it only goes back to 8.4.0. this is because versions prior to 8.4.0 are not currently in software support.

After a bit of digging I have found that there is a break in support for systems that are pre 8.3.1 to Post 8.5.0. ( keep in mind that is several years of releases in between those and you are talking about 8.2.1 which released in 2018 and 8.6.3 which released in 2024. These two systems are too far apart to be able to perform this (keep in mind  the V5020 shipped in 2016 and the 5300 shipped in 2025).

There are other ways to migrate your data if that is what you are looking to do, so I recommend  contacting your IBM Account rep or IBM Business Partner for options.

I hope this helps!
