Management: Firmware Inventory
A storage array is made up of many components, which may include RAID
controller modules, physical disks, and enclosure management modules
(EMMs). Each of these components contains firmware. Some versions of
firmware are dependent on other versions of firmware. To capture
information about all of the firmware versions in the storage array, view the
firmware inventory.
If the firmware inventory does not contain information for a particular
storage array, the firmware inventory service is not available on that storage
array.
You can also save the firmware inventory to a text file. You can then send the
file to your Technical Support representative to detect any firmware
mismatches.
