Determining the Storage Router Software Version

To determine the version of SN 5428 software running on the storage router, establish a Telnet or console port session with the storage router, and enter the CLI show version command. (See Example 1.) The Application field displays the version of software currently running on the storage router. The System Bootstrap field displays the software version that will run the next time the storage router is restarted.

You can also check the version of the storage router software by using the web-based GUI. Log in as monitor to display the Processor and Software Information table, or click Processor and SW (under System) in the Monitor dynamic menu list in the left frame.
