Firmware Inventory
A storage array is made up of many components, which may include RAID controller modules, physical disks, and
enclosure management modules (EMMs). Each of these components contains firmware. Some versions of the firmware
are dependent on other versions of firmware. To capture information about all of the firmware versions in the storage
array, view the firmware inventory.
If the firmware inventory does not contain information for a particular storage array, the firmware inventory service is
not available on that storage array.
You can also save the firmware inventory to a text file. You can then send the file to your Technical Support
representative for analysis. Your Technical Support representative can detect any firmware mismatches.
Viewing The Firmware Inventory
1. Perform one of these actions based on whether you want to view the firmware information for one storage array or
all storage arrays:
– Single storage array — From the AMW, select Summary → View Firmware Inventory.
– All storage arrays — From the EMW, select Tools → Firmware Inventory.
2. To save the firmware inventory to a text file, click Save As.
NOTE: The suffix *.txt is added to the file name automatically if you do not specify a suffix for the file name.
3. In File name dialog box, enter a name for the file to be saved. You may also specify another physical disk and
directory if you want to save the file in a location other than the default.
4. Click Save.
An ASCII text file that contains the firmware inventory is saved to the designated directory.
