Appliance Versioning

To express a minimally required version of the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance software, add the optional required field to your workflow. The Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance software is versioned in terms of the year, month and day on which the software was built, followed by a build number and then a branch number, expressed as "year.month.day.build-branch". For example "2009.04.10,12-0" would be the twelfth build of the software originally build on April 10th, 2009. To get the version of the current Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance kit software, run the "configuration version get version" CLI command, or look at the "Version" field in the Maintenance > System screen in the BUI. Here is an example of using the required field:

var workflow = {
	name: 'Configure FC',
	description: 'Configures fibre channel target groups',
        required: '2009.12.25,1-0',
        ...

If a workflow requires a version of software that is newer than the version loaded on the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance, the attempt to upload the workflow fails with a message explaining the mismatch.
