Version 3.02.56, Build ID DSYT56e

Enhancement:

The following systems are supported when BoMC downloads the corresponding system enablement pack:

  • HS22V (7871,1949)
  • x3550 M3 (7944,4254)
  • x3650 M3 (7945,4255)
  • x3400 M3 (7378,7379)
  • x3500 M3 (7839)
  • dx360 M3 (6391)

Limitations:

  • No HDD diagnostics available
  • To ensure quality and stability of the DSA code, we have reverted some display functionality of RAID information to what was shown in previous versions of DSA. This affects RAID display on the following adapters:
    • Megaraid 8480
    • Serveraid MR10i
    • Serveraid MR10is
    • Serveraid MR10m
    • Serveraid MR10k
    • Serveraid M1015
    • Serveraid M5014
    • Serveraid M5015

      On these adapters, the RAID information is generated from the output of separate command line tools and the format may not match other output in DSA.
