Determining firmware levels

There are two different methods to determine the DCS3700 storage system and DCS3700 expansion

enclosure firmware versions. Each method uses the DS Storage Manager client that manages the DCS3700

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.

DSC3700 storage system

v NVSRAM version

v Firmware version

Drives

v Drive Firmware version

DCS3700 expansion unit

v ESM card firmware version

Method Two:

Complete the appropriate procedure to obtain the specified firmware version.

To obtain the controller firmware version:

Click on the Controller icon in the left pane of the Physical View tab of the Subsystem

Management window. The properties of the controller will be displayed in the right pane of the

Physical view tab.

You must perform this step for each individual controller.
