Software status, system version and update status

In addition to the system version, the software status also includes the updates which are installed on the unit. Software updates can only be installed if they are available on the local system.

Under SW version in the system information the SE Manager displays on the MU, SU x86, and HNC the version of the basic software M2000, X2000 or HNC, including the update status.
On the SU /390, the SE Manager displays the HCP (Hardware Control Program) software (e.g. in the SU /390 information on "Name, system information and interfaces of the SU /390"), but in this case does not support update management.

The software status consequently has the following components:

Component	Example	Description
Version	6.5A
Revision	REV=0206	Update status
Update	6.5A, No.010	Updates are assigned to a version and update status. Updates have a sequence number for each version status and each update status (010 in the example)

In contrast to the other updates, add-on packs are autonomous software products which Fujitsu provides for installation on the Management Units. An add-on pack is either a software product which is installed by default (e.g. StorMan on the Management Unit) or one which is optional.
Add-on packs are managed like updates to the basic software, but the software status displayed consists of the product name and a product-specific version designation.
