The Physical Disk Firmware Version Report compares the current rmware against a list of currently available rmware and legacy
driver models.
NOTE: To generate the HDD rmware version report, negotiable speed and the model number of the drives are used as
keys for indexing entries in the hddfwver.csv le. If 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 le.
You can run the report on each controller basis or for the storage system.
For each controller report, click Storage → Controller → Information/Conguration → Available Reports → View Physical Disk
Firmware Version Report → Execute.
