    I have a FS7300.

    I received this notice:

    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6989587?myns=swgother&mynp=OCSSA76Z4&mynp=OCSSC647&mync=E&cm_sp=swgother-_-OCSSA76Z4-OCSSC647-_-E

    I am running 8.5.0.6 of OS but how do I determine what level the FCM is?

    on the GUI > Pools > Internal Storage, right click the columns pane and check Firmware Level box to see current fw levels of your FCMs or command line

    svcinfo lsdrive -nohdr |while read did error use;do svcinfo lsdrive $did |while read id value;do if [[ $id == "firmware_level" ]];then echo $did" "$value;fi;done;done

    Yes,

    you have FCM3's and 3_1_4 is old fw level. you need to upgrade to latest (3_1_8)

    Thank you.

    It does look like we are MUCH newer than the FCM level outlined in the original alert, true?

    Not trying to duck doing work.  Especially since I do seem some S1's I need to address.
