Hi Zeev,

Thanks for reply.

We have Hitachi storage attached to this server and we use HDLM for load balancing.

Hitachi engineer is recommending for HDLM upgrade and in this process they ask fro firmware revision and Driver verion of Fiber card.

Is chip revision is Firmware revision ?

Thanks

I think revision (2.2 or 2.3) is what they
mean by firmware.

Engineering Data Code could be the second option.Ask HDS people for numbers :) and suit yourself.
