The SAM-QFS Manager management station can collect or discover data from any server that has the corresponding or prior update of the following packages installed locally:
SUNWsamfsr and SUNWsamfsu
SUNWqfsr and SUNWqfsu
For example, the SAM-QFS Manager release 3.0 software was released at the same time as the Sun QFS and Sun SAM release 4, update 6, software. Therefore, the SAM-QFS Manager release 3.0 browser interface can discover data from a server that has either of the following installed locally:
Release 4, update 5 or update 6, SUNWsamfsr and SUNWsamfsu packages
Release 4, update 5 or update 6, SUNWqfsr and SUNWqfsu packages
If the server has an older release level of the packages installed, “Not Supported” is displayed in the Release column on the Servers page.
If the server has a newer release level of the packages installed, a Down icon is displayed on the Servers page.
In either of these situations, do the following to obtain compatible release levels:
On the management station and on the server, use the pkginfo(1M) -l (the letter ell) command to verify the package release on the system.
Depending on the results of the pkginfo(1M) -l command, do the following:
If the packages on the management station and server are not compatible, upgrade the system that has the older release.
If the packages on the management station and server are compatible, use the showrev(1M) -p command on both the management station and server to view the patch release levels.
showrev -p /usr/xpg4/bin/grep -E ”SUNWsam|SUNWqfs’
For more information about compatible software and patch release levels, see the README document.
