In MST, select the enclosure device and run the info tool - post results.

Hope this helps!

swlist It seems like this was missing a tab between the first and second columns?

Re: The enclosure services controller cards have different versions

Are you sure this is a patch problem?

Did you compare the installed versions?

Hope this helps!

This isn't a patch problem.

You are being told exactly what the problem is. The problem is that the controllers IN THE FC10 itself have different versions of firmware installed on them.

This can be due to one of them going bad and getting replaced.

The solution is the upgrade the firmware in the controller with the lower version so it matches the one with the newer version.

I have always HP do this for me, so I am not sure of the exact procedure.

You were given advice on how to check the controller firmware versions by Torsten above.
