This
compatibility specification applies to K2 10Gv3 RAID (M110), K2 10Gv2 RAID, K2 10G RAID
(D4), and K2 Lx0 RAID (D3) on a K2 SAN, both basic and redundant.
Be aware that Storage Utility can report inconsistent disk drive
firmware versions. This can be a normal condition, since the RAID system
supports multiple drive capacities and firmware versions. Be sure to compare
the version numbers with this table, and update only as required.
Disk drive firmware is compatible with this release of K2 software as
summarized in the following tables:

This
