Checking Software Version Compatibility

Dell DX Compatibility Manager is a utility that is installed on the DX Cluster

Services Nodes. This utility collects and provides information about the

current BIOS, firmware, drivers, and software versions in your cluster.

Compatibility Manager compares these versions to a predetermined profile of

a released version of DX Storage Platform components and identifies

potential conflicts.

Compatibility Manager is an application that runs in the background on the

Cluster Services Nodes. It checks the installed versions of the software and

hardware components within the cluster. The Compatibility Manager

compares this data against a known profile of compatible versions and writes

the status to a text file. It is recommended that you check the file after a

change in the software or hardware has occurred within the cluster.

NOTE:

The primary Cluster Services Node checks the configuration of the storage

nodes. The secondary Cluster Services Node only checks its own versions.

Each software and hardware component in the cluster displays a status level

as described in Table 4-1.
