Determining the current version

To determine if you must install the service release, you must verify the QR version that is running on the HP StoreEasy Storage.

To verify the version:

  1. Log in to the server blade and open the command prompt.

  2. Enter the following registry query command:

    C:\> reg query HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Hewlett-Packard\StorageWorks

  3. Verify the QR version in the output that is similar to the following:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Hewlett-Packard\StorageWorks\QuickRestore
    BASE REG_SZ 2.1.0.30
    QRVersion REG_SZ 3.02.1a.123
    A QRVersion that is less than the version listed in this document indicates you are running an older version of the StoreEasy software. Upgrading to the latest version is recommended.
    

NOTE: The QR version corresponds to the version of the System Recovery DVD that was shipped with the StoreEasy system. The System Recovery DVD is periodically updated. If you must perform a system recovery, check for a more recent version available on the web. For more information on system recovery, see the Administrator Guide for your model.
