Before Installing Storage Management
The following sections describe considerations for installing Storage
Management.
Version Requirements for Controller Firmware and Drivers
In order for Storage Management to function properly, the controllers must
have the minimum required version of the firmware and drivers installed. The
firmware and drivers listed in the
Server Administrator Readme refer to the
minimum supported version for these controllers. Later versions of the
firmware and drivers are also supported. For the most recent driver and
firmware requirements, contact your service provider.
NOTE: To download the latest storport driver, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base
article KB 943545 at support.microsoft.com.
If you install Storage Management without the minimum required firmware
and drivers, Storage Management may not be able to display any of the
controllers or perform other functions. Storage Management generates alerts
2131 and 2132 when it detects unsupported firmware or drivers on a
controller.
For information on Alert Messages, see the Server Administrator Messages
Reference Guide.
