RE: Any new firmware required for newer drives?

["Steinmetz, Paul" <PSteinmetz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Larry / Rob,

After more researching, it "appears" that P9 is only supporting fourth-generation drives.
ESOH was a third generation drive.

Is this correct?

Paul

Larry or Rob,

Any update on ES0H support for P9 and/or GA2?

OK I think i messed your question, you are referring to Firmware as in 
the hypervisor and/or FSP firmware not firmware for the newer drives??

I believe it was established that the lack of support for your 5887s and 
the drives within them was not a driver issue but simply a testing 
statement. The tests and thus approval to use would be part of GA2 for 
Scale Out.
