7.1.2 Obtaining updates
To download the latest firmware and drivers, and for updates, hints, and tips about known
problems, fixes, technical notes, and product flashes (alerts), consult the IBM Support Web
site at the following address:
http://www.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/disk
Select your specific DS5000 storage subsystem and click the Download tab to get to the
latest versions of Storage Manager, firmware, HBA tools, tips, and publications available.
There might be more than a single version of firmware available for download. Always review
the readme file to make sure that it is the correct version for your product and configuration. If
the readme contains specific enhancements or fixes specifically for your system, then
consider updating your DS5000 storage subsystem.
