If you are using HP LeftHand DSM for Microsoft MPIO, Application Aware Snapshot Manager, or the CLI, the current versions of these components are listed. Go to "Completing the upgrade" (page 6). • Check for Upgrades-The system accesses an FTP site and determines which upgrade or patch files are required.

This button only displays if you previously selected the Ignore Upgrades check box and there are patches available to install. • View Notifications-Notifications are downloaded when the CMC is opened. Notifications include release notes for firmware, driver and software patches and updates. You will see all notifications that are identified on the ftp site. As notifications become outdated, they will expire and no longer be displayed.
