Monitoring deviations in firmware, driver, and utilities
If you plan to leverage your own hardware instead of the out of the box appliance, you can monitor the firmware, driver, and utility versions that are installed on your hardware and report deviations, if any, with Veritas-supported versions.
You can use the following commands to monitor the deviation:
show hardware-health node component=Firmware
show hardware-health node component=Driver
show hardware-health node component=Utility
The following example shows the output that is displayed when you run the show hardware-health node component=Driver command on an HPE 5551 model:
The Status column of the firmware, driver or utility output shows one of the following values:
Latest Version: The latest supported version is installed. No action is required.
Update Available: You must contact Veritas Support to get the required update package.
Unsupported Version: The detected version is not supported by Veritas and you must contact Veritas Support. An alert is generated if an unsupported version is detected.
Fail: The service that detects the versions did not run. Wait for a maximum of 24 hours for the next service cycle to run.
