Verifying installation of the controller software

Verify that the ipr device driver for the controller is installed.

Consult the following table for the minimum ipr device driver version required for each supported adapter:

Consult the following table for the minimum version of the iprconfig utility required for each supported function:

Table 2. Versions of iprconfig for SAS functions
SAS function	Version of iprconfig
Base SAS support	2.0.15.8
Displaying SAS drive path status	2.2.5
High availability dual adapter support	2.2.8
Migrating RAID array between RAID level 0 and 10	2.2.10
Active-Active (tentative name)	2.2.11

You can verify several parameters of the device driver software.

To verify that the ipr device driver for the controller is installed, type modinfo ipr | grep version. Data is displayed in this form:
```
version:        2.4.1
srcversion:     D720FC6935DA2B2638B177A
```
To verify the ipr device driver version, type # modinfo -F version ipr. You will see data in this form:
```
2.4.1
```
To verify that the iprconfig utility is installed, type iprconfig –version. Output from this command will indicate if the utility is installed, and if so, version information will be displayed. You will see data in this form:
```
iprconfig: 2.2.13 (November 17, 2008)
```
