DS4000 Code Levels - DS4000 SM v9.16
All supported host-based code goes to SMv9.16.
If a DS4000 Host-kit is required for the specific
DS4000 model and that host-kit has been
purchased, then the customer has the license to
use the DS4000 on the supported levels of that
operating system, and they can download from the
web, free of charge, the Storage Manage v9.16
host-based code(s). Refer to the updated DS4000
Interoperability Matrix for the supported
operating systems and configurations. The
controller-based code depends on the specific
DS4000 model. Current firmware levels by DS4000
