Hi Asif,

This is a bug in OMSA, not check_openmanage. OMSA is reporting that the
firmware is too old while clearly it is not. Dell has stated that the
bug will be fixed in the next version of OMSA. For more information, see
the following thread on the Linux-Poweredge mailing list:

  http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2010-December/043713.html

As a workaround, I suggest using blacklisting to suppress the false
warnings until OMSA 6.4.0 is released and deployed on your systems:

  check_openmanage -b ctrl_fw=all [..other options..]
