Error description
Storage Insights gets switch firmware levels from the chassis. While a virtual switch device doesnt have physical firmware, it operates as if it were a physical device running the firmware version of the chassis. In certain circumstances, virtual switch devices are shown with a different firmware version than the chassis, which is an impossible configuration. Storage Insights will be updated such that this discrepancy will no longer occur. ____________________________________________________ The defect is against component: 5608TPCSI Server/Manager build/release: 5.4.x Problem as described by customer: Incorrect switch firmware displayed in Storage Insights.
