Firmware version: O300B28 Description These release notes are for the firmware indicated above, which adds improvements and corrects issues found during use and additional qualification testing after initial product release. Firmware can be installed from any computer running a supported operating system with an Ethernet connection to the storage array system. For supported operating systems, see Operating systems. Installation procedures vary, depending on connection environment and user preference.
Enhancements • Added support for the P2000 G3 MSA Array System. • In systems operating on a single power supply, performance was improved by implementing a staggered spin-up for the disk drives in the enclosures. (Do not perform system updates or operate the enclosure for an extended period of time on one power supply; replace failed components as soon as possible.) • Improved event log reporting to include older entries from the event buffer in the log.
