More Information
Summary:In one embodiment, a fabric interconnect device accesses a software inventory of a storage device comprising a plurality of hardware components including at least one storage controller and a plurality of storage mediums. At least one entry of the software inventory identifies a hardware component of the storage device and an indication of at least one version of software installed for use by thehardware component or an indication that no software is installed for use by the hardware component. The fabric interconnect device determines whether one or more versions of software are available for use by the hardware component. The fabric interconnect device initiates installation of at least one version of software for the hardware component of the storage device based on the determination. 在个实施例中，结构互连设备访问包括多个硬件组件的存储设备的软件清单，其中多个硬件组件包括至少个存储控制器和多个存储介质。软件清单的至少个条目标识存储设备的硬件组件以及关于至少个版本的软件被安装以供硬件组件使用的指示或者关于没有软件被安装以供硬件组件使用的指示。结构互连设备确定是否有个或多个版本的软件可供硬件组件使用。结构互连设备基于该确定启动针对存储设备的硬件组件的至少个版本的软件的安装。
