Edge Appliance and NMC Compatibility
The NMC must be compatible with all Edge Appliances it manages. Use this information to verify compatibility.
Compatibility rules
The NMC version should be equal to or newer than the Edge Appliance version it manages.
There is a maximum version gap. Very old Edge Appliances might not work with the newest NMC.
Update the NMC first, then update Edge Appliances (NEAs).

Volume Sharing Compatibility
When sharing volumes between Edge Appliances, both appliances must be running compatible versions.
Compatibility Rules
Volumes can only be shared within the same "compatibility group".
Version 9.15.3 is the bridge between the 9.x compatibility group and 10.x compatibility group.
If using Advanced Global File Locking (AGFL), all shared volumes must be on 10.0.2 or later.
Compatibility Groups
Group A (9.7.x – 9.15.x): These owning versions can share volumes with each other.
Owning volume can share with → | 9.7.x | 9.8.x | 9.9.x | 9.10.x | 9.12.x | 9.14.x | 9.15.x |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
9.7.x – 9.15.x | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Group B (9.15.3 – 10.x): These owning versions can share volumes with each other.
Owning volume can share with → | 9.15.3 | 10.0.x | 10.1.x | 10.2.x |
|---|---|---|---|---|
9.15.3+ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
10.0.x | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
10.1.x | ✓* | ✓* | ✓ | ✓ |
10.2.x | — | — | — | ✓ |
*Must update from 10.0.2+ to share with 9.15.3 or 10.0.x.
Important: Versions 9.0.x – 9.5.x can only share volumes with each other, not with 9.7.x or later.
Legacy Volume Sharing (9.0.x – 9.5.x)
Owning volume can share with → | 9.0.x | 9.3.x | 9.5.x |
|---|---|---|---|
9.0.x | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
9.3.x | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
9.5.x | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
These versions cannot share volumes with 9.7.x or later.
Special Considerations
AWS PrivateLink or FIPS endpoints: Volumes using these cloud credentials can only connect to Edge Appliances running 9.15.x or later.
Advanced Global File Locking (AGFL): If enabled, all appliances sharing the volume must be running 10.0.2 or later.
