Seek clarification on hardware supported in 6.0.4

The release notes from yesterday's release seem to appear in contradiction within itself. Maybe I am not reading this appropriately.

In the upgrade section I see,

"Upgrade to 6.0.4

The 6.0.3 release, distributed in April 2009, was the last software release for the CS-MARS 100, 100e, 200, GC, and GCm appliances. Therefore, you cannot apply the 6.0.4 release to these appliance models. For a full list of supported appliance models, see Supported Hardware."

In the "Supported Hardware" section I see both the 100 and the 100e. How is it both not supported and supported?

"Release 6.0.4 supports the following Cisco Security MARS Appliance models:

Local Controller Appliances: 2nd Generation

•Cisco Security MARS 25R (CS-MARS-25R-K9)

•Cisco Security MARS 25 (CS-MARS-25-K9)

•Cisco Security MARS 55 (CS-MARS-55-K9)

•Cisco Security MARS 110R (CS-MARS-110R-K9)

•Cisco Security MARS 110 (CS-MARS-110-K9)

•Cisco Security MARS 210 (CS-MARS-210-K9)

Local Controller Appliances: 1st Generation

•Cisco Security MARS 20R (CS-MARS-20R-K9) as a MARS 20

•Cisco Security MARS 20 (CS-MARS-20-K9)

•Cisco Security MARS 50 (CS-MARS-50-K9)

•Cisco Security MARS 100e (CS-MARS-100E-K9) as a MARS 100

•Cisco Security MARS 100 (CS-MARS-100-K9)

•Cisco Security MARS 200 (CS-MARS-200-K9)

Global Controller Appliances: 2nd Generation

•Cisco Security MARS GC2R (CS-MARS-GC2R-K9)

•Cisco Security MARS GC2 (CS-MARS-GC2-K9)

Global Controller Appliances: 1st Generation

•Cisco Security MARS GCm (CS-MARS-GCM-K9) as a MARS GC

•Cisco Security MARS GC (CS-MARS-GC-K9)"

And what exactly does "Cisco Security MARS 100e (CS-MARS-100E-K9) as a MARS 100" (100e as a 100) mean? Is there some tweak to trick a 100e to think it is a 100?

Thanks for the clarification.

Hi!

Cisco has changed their mind regard old MARS model. Right now "Release notes" doesn't contain the above mentioned phrase. Please, re-get it from cisco.com.

With best regards.

Hi

I assume that the MARS GEN1 (20,50,100, GC and GCm ) hardware sales been stopped by Cisco. However the customer can still install the MARS 6.0.4 on these platform.

I've just upgraded our cs-mars-50 to 6.0.4 from 6.0.3:

[pnadmin]$ model

CS-MARS-50

[pnadmin]$ version

6.0.4 (3229) 33

[pnadmin]$

I added the upgraded to the package repository via the web interface.

Admin=>System Maint=>Upgrade=>Local packages

I uploaded the 6.0.4.zip file (don't unzip it) and then did the upgrade. I could have used the MARS GUI to download the package, however when I downloaded it on Fri, Cisco didn't list it as available.

I'd call TAC and let them sort it out. They may need to do some system level command line work.
