Abstract
A method to perform a version pre-check of a storage controller command, wherein the method extracts a plurality of objects from a storage controller command, and determines, without querying the storage controller, if each object comprising a method or a method parameter is enabled on that storage controller. If each object comprising a method or a method parameter is enabled on the storage controller, the method indicates success for a version pre-check of the storage controller command.
