Physical Disk Firmware Version Report
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features .
The Physical Disk Firmware Version Report compares the current firmware
against a list of currently available firmware and legacy driver models.
NOTE: To generate the HDD firmware version report, negotiable speed and the
model number of the drives are used as keys for indexing entries in the
hddfwver.csv file. In case the negotiable speed of the drive is not available from the
controller, then the model number of the drive is used as the key for indexing entries
in the hddfwver.csv file.
You can run the report on a per controller basis or for the storage system.
For a per controller report, click Controller Information/Configuration 
Available Reports Physical Disk Firmware Version Report Execute.
For a storage system report, select Storage Information/Configuration
Global Tasks Physical Disk Firmware Version Report Execute.
The comparison is as latest as the compare file. If you do not have the latest
compare file (hddfwver.csv), contact your service provider to download the
latest one. Replace the existing hddfwver.csv file with the new file at the
following location:
On Windows:
C:\<Program Files (x86)>\Dell\SysMgt\sm
where C:\Program files may vary based on the system.
On Linux:
/opt/dell/srvadmin/etc/srvadmin-storage/hddfwver.csv
On ESXi:
/etc/cim/dell/srvadmin/srvadmin-storage/hddfwver.csv
If the existing firmware(s) for all physical disks is the latest, the following
informational message is displayed.

firmware update
The report displays information for the drives that require a firmware upgrade
