Notes:
1. Currently, the DS4700 Express Storage Subsystem is
shipped
with controller firmware version 6.16.8x.xx that
supports EXP810s.
2. The DS4800 Storage Subsystem (models 82A/H, 84A/H, and 88A/H) is shipped with 6.15.xx.xx controller firmware,
which does not support EXP810s. The DS4800 model 80A/H is already shipped with 6.16.xx.xx firmware and does
not support 6.15.xx.xx and 6.14.xx.xx firmware versions. Follow the instructions in Appendix A, “Upgrading the
DS4000 controller firmware,” on page 135 to upgrade the controller firmware in the DS4800 Storage Subsystems
(models 82A/H, 84A/H, and 88A/H) to the level that supports EXP810s.
Determining
firmware
levels
There are two different methods to determine the DS4000 storage subsystem and
the storage expansion enclosure firmware versions. Each method uses the DS
Storage Manager client that manages the DS4000 storage subsystem with the
attached storage expansion enclosure.
Method
One:
Go to the Subsystem Management window and select
View
→
Storage
Subsystem
Profile
. When the Storage Subsystem Profile window opens, select the
All
tab and
scroll through Profile For Storage Subsystem to locate the following information.
Note:
The Profile For Storage Subsystem windows contains all the profile
information for the entire subsystem. Therefore, it may be necessary to scroll
through a large amount of information to locate the firmware version
numbers.
