March 26, 2006 - Storage Manager Installer package version 09.16.35.09

To correct the ambiguous warning statement in the pop-up window, that was displayed as part of the storage manager host software installer wizard. The existing warning statement might cause the customer to incorrectly interpret that he could not upgrade the controller firmware of the DS4000 controllers in a configuration with EXP100 enclosures after he installed the new storage manager host software. This change is for the storage manager SMIA installer package only. All of the storage manager host software components will have the same version as the ones that were released on 2/13/2006.

February 13, 2006 - Storage Manager Installer package version 09.16.35.08

• Support for attachment of DS4000 EXP810 Storage Expansion to the DS4800 storage subsystems with controller firmware 06.16.xx.xx installed.
  
• Supports automatic ESM firmware synchronization with the new EXP810 storage expansion enclosure. When you install a new ESM into an existing EXP810 that is attached to a DS4000 storage subsystem that supports automatic ESM firmware synchronization, this feature resolves firmware mismatch conditions by automatically synchronizing the firmware in the new ESM with the firmware in the existing ESM. Support for automatic EXP810 enclosure ID conflict resolution.

Dec 01, 2005 - Storage Manager Installer package version 09.15.xx.x6

• Support the DS4100, DS4300, DS4400, DS4500 and DS4800 controller firmware versions that provide support for the new 400G SATA drive options and CRUs (P/Ns 39M4570 and 39M4575, respectively) in addition to the new
  250G SATA drive CRUs (P/N 40K6837.) This new 250G SATA drive CRU is functionally equivalent to the previously-released CRUs (P/N 90P1349).
  

Note: The drive enclosure EXP100 ESM must also be updated to version 9563 or later.

• Support controller firmware version 06.12.16.xx or higher on the DS4100
  storage subsystem with Single Controller option
