Important:
1. For the latest NVSRAM versions, see http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/
storage/disk/.
2. To verify software version levels or to identify possible interim updates to
firmware and NVSRAM file versions that are described in Table 2, go to
http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/disk/.
Before you update the controller firmware and NVSRAM to the version that is
indicated in Table 3, see the readme file included in the controller firmware
code package for information about upgrades or stepping-stone controller
firmware upgrades that you must perform first.

Storage subsystem profile
When the Storage Subsystem Profile window opens, click the All tab and scroll
through the Profile For Storage Subsystem section to locate the following
information.
Note: The Profile For Storage Subsystem section contains all the profile
information for the entire subsystem. Therefore, it might be necessary to scroll
through a large amount of information to locate the firmware level numbers.
Storage Subsystem
