respectively. To find the latest DS Storage Manager software, storage subsystem
controller firmware, ESM, and NVSRAM firmware, check the firmware readme files.
See “Finding DS5020 and DS4000-family readme files” on page xxv to learn how to
access the readme files on the Web.
Depending on the controller firmware version for your subsystem, refer to the
following guides for instructions that describe how to install the DS5020 controller
firmware and Storage Manager host software:
v IBM System Storage DS Storage Manager Version 10 Installation and Host
Support Guide (for storage subsystems with controller firmware version earlier
than 7.8x.xx.xx)
v IBM System Storage DS Storage Manager Version 10.8 Installation and Host
Support Guide (for storage subsystems with controller firmware version
7.8x.xx.xx or later)
Note: For the latest information about supported servers and operating systems,
refer to the interoperability matrix at this Web site:

Determining firmware levels
There are two different methods to determine the DS5020 storage subsystem and
firmware versions. Each method uses the DS Storage Manager client that manages
the DS5020 storage subsystem.
Method One:
1. In the Subsystem Management window, click the Summary tab.
2. In the Monitor section, click View Storage Subsystem Profile. The Storage
Subsystem Profile window opens. Scroll through the data to locate the
following information:
Note: The Storage Subsystem Profile window shows information for the entire
subsystem. Therefore, you might have to scroll through a large amount of
information to locate the firmware version numbers.
DS5020 Storage Server
v NVSRAM version
v Appware version
v Bootware version
Drives
v Firmware version
v ATA translator card firmware version (SATA E-DDMs only)
Note: The ATA translator card firmware and drive firmware are typically
packaged together as a single drive firmware upgrade file.
v FC to SAS interposer card firmware version (FC-SAS E-DDMs only)
Note: The FC to SAS interposer card firmware and drive firmware are
typically packaged together as a single drive firmware upgrade
file.
