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.
For a storage system report, select Storage > Information/Conguration > Global Tasks > View Physical Disk Firmware Version Report
> Execute.
If you do not have the latest compare le (hddfwver.csv), contact your service provider to download the latest compare le. Replace the
existing hddfwver.csv le with the new le at the following location:
On systems running Windows:
C:\<Program Files (x86)>\Dell\SysMgt\sm
where C:\Program les may vary based on the system.
On systems running Linux:
/opt/dell/srvadmin/etc/srvadmin-storage/hddfwver.csv
On systems running ESXi:
/etc/cim/dell/srvadmin/srvadmin-storage/hddfwver.csv
If the existing rmware(s) for all physical disks is the latest, the following message is displayed:
