How to check the version of HIT on my PowerEdge servers?
I inherited an EqualLogic 6100 with very little documentation from the previous IT administrator. I would like to find out what version of the Host Integration Tools are running on my PowerEdge R610 servers connected to the EqualLogic (they're running Hyper-V 2012). Is there a quick way to check this?
The ultimate objective is the upgrade the host servers to Server 2016 (core) (2019 if possible but I don't know what the compatibility is at the moment).

Hello,
Re: 2019. The HIT/ME software does not yet support Windows 2019
If you run the Auto Snapshot manager GUI, then click Help->About it will give you the HIT/ME version. Current version is 5.1.0.
Or at the Windows CLI you can go to where the software is installed and run
C:>asmcli --version
Typically installed in c:\program files\Equallogic\bin

Don

Thanks for that information.
When I type
from that directory, it teslls me that 'asmcli' is not recognized as a command.
I see the Dell EqualLogic MPIO tab on the iSCSI Initiator Properites window. Is it possible that something is missing?
My EqualLogic firmware is 6.0 and I'm on Server 2012 so I assume I would have 4.5 at the earliest. None of the firmware or HIT have been upgraded since 2013.

Hello,
It sounds like only the MPIO portion of the HIT kit is installed. HIT/ME that old doesn't support Windows 2012.
If you still have a contract both the EQL firmware and HIT/ME software should be updated to properly support Windows 2012.
