Viewing vital product data for nodes

Use the Viewing Vital Product Data panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to display the vital product data (VPD) information related to the node. The VPD information uniquely defines each hardware and licensed-internal-code element. The node VPD provides information about the system board, processor, fans, memory module, fibre-channel adapter card, devices, software, front panel assembly, the uninterruptible power supply, SAS host bus adapter (HBA), and SAS solid-state drive (SSD).
