IBM FlashSystem 9200
Installed-base high-end NVMe FlashSystem model for 9200 support, FCM2 media, V9000 or 9100 migration history, and 9500 or 9600 refresh planning.
FlashSystem 9200 is an older high-end NVMe FlashSystem family that appears in support, migration, and refresh searches. Many 9200 questions are really about whether the installed system should stay supported, move through a 9500-class path, or refresh into the current 9600 tier.
Do not treat 9200, 9200R, V9000, and 9100 as interchangeable names. They can lead to the same refresh conversation, but the installed hardware, media generation, and support documents are different.
