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.
