Compatibility Manager compares these versions to a predetermined profile of a released version of DX Storage Platform components and identifies potential conflicts.

It checks the installed versions of the software and hardware components within the cluster.

It is recommended that you check the file after a change in the software or hardware has occurred within the cluster.
