Determining firmware levels

There are two different methods to determine the DS4000 storage subsystem and
firmware versions. Each method uses the DS4000 Storage Manager client that
manages the DS4300 storage subsystem.
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 the Profile For Storage Subsystem list to locate
the following information.
Note: The Profile For Storage Subsystem list 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.
DS4000 Storage Subsystem
v NVSRAM version
v Appware version
v Bootware version
Drives
v Drive Firmware version
v ATA translator card firmware for EXP810 SATA enhanced disk drive module
(E-DDM)
ESM
v ESM card firmware version
Method Two: Complete the appropriate procedure to obtain the specified firmware
version.
To obtain the controller firmware version: Right-click the Controller icon in the
Physical View pane of the Subsystem Management window and select Properties.
The Controller Enclosure properties window opens and displays the properties for
that controller. You must perform this step for each individual controller.
