Before Installing Storage Management

The following sections describe considerations for installing Storage Management.

Version Requirements For Controller Firmware And Drivers

For Storage Management to function properly, the controllers must have the minimum required version of the rmware and drivers

installed. The rmware and drivers listed in the Server Administrator Release Notes refer to the minimum supported version for these

controllers. Later versions of the rmware and drivers are also supported. For the most recent driver and rmware requirements, contact

your service provider.

NOTE: To download the latest storport driver, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article KB943545 at support.microsoft.com.

If you install Storage Management without the minimum required rmware and drivers, Storage Management may not be able to display the

controllers or perform other functions. Storage Management generates alerts 2131 and 2132 when it detects unsupported rmware or

drivers on a controller.

For information on alert messages, see the Server Administrator Messages Reference Guide.
