In order to determine if your controller is revision B1 or B3, you must find the serial number of the CONTROLLER - which is located in controller information:


[Controller Info]

ControllerRole: Primary           ReadinessStatus:Active

LUNAffinity: Enabled              LunmappingMethod: WWN Based

The numbers which we will concern ourselves with are the six digits which follow the "H":

SerialNo: M42H09
7
09900268
On a Fiber Channel controller, if this number is greater than 08x110, then the controller is revision B3 or higher.
On a SAS controller, if this number is greater than 09x031, then the controller is revision B3 or higher.
