SC4020 reported as critical vulnerability by Nessus

Question

Our SC4020 disk array has been recognized as critical vulnerability by Nessus vulnerability scan software. It is due the unsupported version of OS – FreeBSD 9.2. Here is the message from the scan: Unsupported Unix Operating System Description According to its version, the remote Unix operating system is no longer supported. Lack of support implies that no new security patches for the product will be released by the vendor. As a result, it is likely to contain security vulnerabilities. Solution Upgrade to a more recent version that is currently supported. Output FreeBSD 9.2 support ended on 2014-12-31. Upgrade to FreeBSD 10.1 / 9.3. For more information, see : http://www.freebsd.org/security/   The installed version of SCOS is 6.5.3. How is it possible to solve this problem – Is it possible to upgrade the FreeBSD OS to the supported version with the SCOS upgrade?
