14 Implementing the IBM Storwize V7000 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.2.1
2.3.2  IBM Storage Utility offerings
The IBM 2076 Model U7A is the IBM Storwize V7000 with a three-year warranty to be used in 
the Storage Utility Offering space. These models are physically and functionally identical to 
the Storwize V7000 model 624, except for target configurations and variable capacity billing. 
The variable capacity billing uses IBM Spectrum Control™ Stor age Insights to monitor the 
system usage, which allows allocated storage usage above a base subscription rate to be 
billed per TB, per month.

Note: The first generation of control enclosures (2076 - models 112, 124, 312, and 324) 
were withdrawn from marketing. However, expansion enclosures 2076-212 and 2076-224 
can still be ordered (see Table 2-1) because they attach to those control enclosures only. 
Intermixing control enclosures with expansion enclosures of different generations is not a 
supported combination, and is refused by IBM Spectrum Virtualize software.
The first generation of IBM Storwize V7000 hardware is not supported by IBM Spectrum 
Virtualize V8.1. Any attempt to upgrade to V8.1 is rejected by the software. The last 
supported version for first-generation Storwize V7000 is V7.8.
