Drive reporting for SI

IBM sometimes releases FLASHes for drive firmware issues. Although the Advisor should catch this, there isn't a simple way to generate reports for all drives known to SI. The only method for doing this appears to be to create a drive report for each storage system, which is tedious and prone to missing arrays.

    Contacted by a customer today because they received a flash regarding FCMs that need to be upgraded to a specific level to keep from going offline. There's not an easy way to check this in Storage Insights.

    My customer requested the same report. They have multiple Flash systems and it it would be tedious to dig down into each array individualy to get this information.
