Disk and FLARE OE Matrix: EMC AX4-5 Series Storage Systems
To function properly, serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) or serial attached SCSI (SAS) disks in an EMC AX4-5 series storage system require that each storage processor run minimum versions of the EMC FLARE Operating Environment (FLARE OE). This document lists the disk part numbers supported by EMC AX4-5 series storage systems and the minimum software versions required for each disk model.
The AX4-5SC, AX4-5SCF4, AX4-5, AX4-5F8, AX4-5SCi, and AX4-5i are also called the AX4-5FSC, AX4-5FSCX, AX4-5F, AX4-5FX, AX4-5ISC, and AX4-5I, respectively.
The disk part number (PN) appears on a label on the front of the disk carrier. CAUTION Verify that the proper version of FLARE OE is running on the storage system before installing any disk drives. Results ranging from nonrecognition of the drives to data loss may occur if an improper FLARE OE version is installed. Use the EMC Navisphere Express software to view the AX4-5 series FLARE OE version. Open Navisphere Express for the AX4-5 storage system and select Software from the System menu to open the System Software page. If the FLARE OE does not meet the minimum version required for your disks as shown in Table 1, then upgrade FLARE OE on the storage systems before installing the disk. See the Upgrade section under Service & support, on the AX4-5 support website. For information on accessing the AX4-5 support website, refer to the support information that shipped with your storage system.
Changes and additions in the tables since the last revision of this document are noted in bold blue type.
