each controller and the enclosures. To view controller version information, select
Monitor > Status > Advanced Settings > Controller Versions.To view drive
enclosure information, select Manage > Update Software > Enclosure Firmware >
Show Enclosures.

For software and firmware updates, go to

. Select

MSA SAN Arrays, select your product, and go to Support.

Setting the Date and Time

You can set the date and time manually or configure the system to use Network
Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain them from a network-attached server. When NTP is
enabled, and if an NTP server is available, the system time and date can be obtained
from the NTP server. This allows multiple storage devices, hosts, log files, and so
forth to be synchronized.

NTP server time is provided in Universal Time (UT), which provides several
options:

If you want to synchronize the times and logs between storage devices installed
in multiple time zones, set all the storage devices to use UT.

If you want to use the local time for the device, set its time zone appropriately.
