Version requirements for Controller Firmware and Drivers

For Storage Management to function properly, the controllers must have the minimum required version of the firmware and drivers installed. For the minimum supported version of firmware and drivers of these controllers, see the Dell OpenManage Software Support Matrix. Later versions of the firmware and drivers are also supported. For the most recent driver and firmware 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 firmware 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 firmware or drivers on a controller.

For information about alert messages, see the Dell OpenManage Message Reference Guide.
