A new DX Storage Node software version is displayed on the Cluster
Services Node console after a successful installation of the storage node
software on the DX Cluster Services Node.
2 To view the DX Storage Node software version, click
Cluster Services  Netboot Management .
3 From the Netboot Management page, select the newly installed storage
node software and reboot the DX Storage Cluster to apply the new
