Legacy baselines

Legacy baselines include formerly released code stacks. Baselines are numbered in the order of release. For example, baseline v1 was the initial release for the VRTX system.

Table 1. Legacy baseline
The following table describes the formerly released code stacks:
Legacy baseline	Description
Baseline v10	This baseline adds support for additional operating systems.
Baseline v9	This baseline adds support for additional operating systems.
Baseline v8	This baseline adds support for additional operating systems.
Baseline v7	Defines the minimum version baseline requirements for the PowerEdge VRTX unit to support Dell PowerEdge M640. This baseline also provides support for additional operating systems
Baseline v6	Defines the minimum version baseline requirements for the PowerEdge VRTX storage subsystem to support FIPS-certified self-encrypting drives (SED). This baseline also provides support for additional operating systems. Improvements for both single and dual Shared PERC 8 configurations over the previous baselines.
Baseline v5	Defines the minimum version baseline requirements for the PowerEdge VRTX storage subsystem that is associated with the introduction of Shared Storage Expansion via Shared PERC 8 external controllers and PowerVault MD1200 or MD1220 Storage Enclosures. This baseline provides: Added support for Shared Storage Expansion via Shared PERC 8 external controllers and PowerVault MD1200 or MD1220 Storage Enclosures Support for additional operating systems Improvements for both single and dual Shared PERC 8 configurations over the previous baselines Support both single and dual Shared PERC 8 configurations for all supported operating systems
Baseline v4	Defines the minimum version baseline requirements for the PowerEdge VRTX storage subsystem that is associated with the introduction of the Fault Tolerance support in Linux. This baseline provides: Fault tolerance on supported Linux operating systems Support for additional operating systems Improvements on both single and dual Shared PERC 8 configurations
Baseline v3	Defines the minimum version baseline requirements for the VRTX storage subsystem that is associated with the introduction of the Write Back Cache support in a fault tolerant (dual controller) Shared PERC 8 configuration. This baseline: Provides Write Back caching in both single and fault tolerant configurations Provides improvements on both single and dual Shared PERC 8 configurations over the previous baselines Does not have backward compatibility with later baselines (Baseline v4) and will not be updated going forward
Baseline v2	Defines the minimum version baseline requirements for the VRTX storage subsystem that is associated with the introduction of fault tolerant (dual controller) Shared PERC 8 configuration. This baseline: Provides support for both single and dual Shared PERC 8 configurations Provides Write Back caching in single controller configuration. Write Through caching in dual controller configurations Provides improvements on both single and dual Shared PERC 8 configurations over the previous baselines Does not have backward compatibility with later baselines (Baseline v3) and will not be updated going forward
Baseline v1	Defines the minimum version baseline requirements for the VRTX storage subsystem that has only single Shared PERC 8. This baseline: Provides support for a single Shared PERC 8 configuration. Storage subsystem redundancy (dual Shared PERC 8) is not supported with this baseline Does not have backward compatibility with later baselines (Baselines v2) and will not be updated going forward
