How do I get Controller Firmware (CFW) and Host Software (HSW) for my system?         A. In the past, LSI did not post CFW and HSW on LSI.com. That is because the products mainly were sold through OEM partners and there were few direct customers. For those situations where LSI had a support relationship with an end customer, code would be provided as part of the problem resolution if a defect was found. One exception to this was for the CTS2600 product- which had CFW and HSW code posted in the secure download area along with the VSS/VDS providers that were specific for the CTS2600. Provisions have been made on the NetApp Support Site on the Software Downloads page to get to CTS2600 binaries after you have registered as a user as specified above. They will be contained under the “RAID Controller CTS2600 Legacy Engenio” listing.         This policy will continue at NetApp in that CFW and HSW will not be posted on the Support Site for the legacy systems. Other software that was on the site that has been moved to the Support Site is outlined in another FAQ and matrix below. Of course, for those customers that have purchased NetApp branded-products directly from NetApp have their own entitlement and can access the software that they are entitled to via the NetApp Support site. ...
