Smart Storage Administrator warning about Disk Firmware

[Tim Frodermann]

Hi,

I have a Proliant ProLiant DL360 G6 which had a faulty disk lately. The server is out of guarantee and i had to order spare disks without hp support.

The disks used were of the "HP DG0300FAMWN" type with firmware HPDE.

The spare disks I used to rebuild the raid are of the "HP EG0300FCSPH" type with the firmware HPD0.

Now Storage Administrator is critisising that the disk should at least have firmware HPDE - but for the  spare disk the latest firmware release is HPD0.

So obviously there are two types of hp disks in the raid, but the disks have the same specs, so there should be no real problem whatsoever.

But what to do with the firmware warning? What are my options?

Any ideas and thoughts appreciated!

Thank you very much in advance.

Bye,

Tim

Hello,

Since the replacement hard drive (EG0300FCSPH) is already at its latest available firmware, i believe you can safely ignore that Storage administrator firmware warning.
