Viewing Physical Disk Firmware Version Report

Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features

The Physical Disk Firmware Version Report compares the current firmware against a list of currently available firmware and legacy driver models.

You can run the report on each controller basis or for the storage system.

For each controller report, click Storage > Controller > Information/Configuration > Available Reports > View Physical Disk Firmware Version Report > Execute.

For a storage system report, select Storage > Information/Configuration > Global Tasks > View Physical Disk Firmware Version Report > Execute.

If you do not have the latest compare file (hddfwver.csv), contact your service provider to download the latest compare file. Replace the existing hddfwver.csv file with the new file at the following location:

On systems running Windows:

C:\<Program Files (x86)>\Dell\SysMgt\sm

where C:\Program files 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 firmware(s) for all physical disks is the latest, the following message is displayed:

There are no physical disks available that require firmware update.
