Even a new switch with warranty is only a few more peanuts. For example, the Brocade 6510 and IBM SAN48B-5 (2498-F48) switches were just recently discontinued (May, 2020), but there might be some new stock available from distributors. Looking at fully qualified (vendor blessed), reasonably physically small, not latest model FICON switches, the discontinued Brocade 5300 and IBM SAN80B-4 (2498-B80) switches were also qualified for IBM z13s machines (at 4 and 8 Gb/s). The Cisco MDS 9250i (also available as IBM 9710-E01) and discontinued Cisco MDS 9222i (IBM 2054-E01) also appear in IBM z13s-related qualification letters. - - - - - - - - - - Timothy Sipples I.T.
