328 IBM Midrange System Storage Hardware Guide
7.1 Upgrades and maintenance
This section covers how to manage your DS5000 storage subsystem firmware, describing the
steps that are required to upgrade the DS5000 storage subsystem code (this includes the
Storage Manager client and firmware of all components) to the latest supported level.
7.1.1 Displaying installed firmware versions
You need to know the firmware level currently installed in your DS5000 storage subsystem.
This information is needed when you report a problem to your support representative, if you
plan an update after receiving notification of the availability of a new level, or when you want
to use a new feature only available with a particular level.
Use the profile data to find the different components’ firmware versions in your DS5000
storage subsystem. You can view this date by performing the following steps:
1. Select Storage Subsystem, ï‚®ï€ View ï‚® Profile from the Subsystem Management
window, or Storage Subsystem ï‚® View Profile if using older levels of the Storage
Manager client.
2. Click the Controller tab to display a window, as shown in Figure 7-1. This shows the
controller firmware (CFW) and NVSRAM version installed
