• Both canisters must show a 48 NVMe disk topology.
• If any errors such as a new disk is bad or does not show up are reported, the errors must be fixed
before proceeding.
7. To check whether all 48 NVMe drives have the current firmware version, issue the following
command from one of the canisters. For more information about the current firmware version, see
the Drives section in IBM Storage Scale System 6000 documentation.
