Pensando PSM & AOS-CX 10000 Software Selection Guidance

The general guidance is for customers to upgrade to the latest Policy and Services Manager (PSM) and AOS-CX software combinations after a review of the appropriate release notes concerning open caveats and cross platform software support.

  • Refer to the appropriate Pensando Policy and Services Manager software release notes on the Aruba Support Portal for supported features and open feature caveats.
  • Refer to the appropriate AOS-CX software release note for supported features and open feature caveats.
  • Refer to this PSM AOS-CX 10000 & AFC software support matrix as appropriate for compatibility.

AOS-CX software has a SSR (Short Supported Release) cycle and a LSR (Long Supported Release) cycle. A detailed detail of the release cycle types can be found here.

The following tables show the recommended minimum supported software revision levels for PSM and AOS-CX 10000 with integration with the Aruba Fabric Composer (AFC). For more information and upgrade/downgrade caveats, refer also to the appropriate release notes for the Aruba Fabric Compose (AFC), PSM and the AOS-CX software.
