-The concept of deferred / pending settings in the [Bios]( https://hewlettpackard.github.io/ilo-rest-api-docs/ilo5/#changing-pending-settings-and-understanding-redfish-settings) and [SmartStorage]( https://hewlettpackard.github.io/ilo-rest-api-docs/ilo5/#smartstorage-configuration) subsystems of HPE iLO 4 and 5 is briefly presented in the [HPE Reference API]( https://hewlettpackard.github.io/ilo-rest-api-docs/ilo5/) documentation. With two examples, this document illustrates what is happening when properties are modified in those subsystems using the Redfish REST API against HPE servers.

+The concept of deferred / pending settings in the [Bios]( https://servermanagementportal.ext.hpe.com/docs/concepts/biosdatamodel/#bios-current-and-pending-areas) and `SmartStorageConfig` subsystems of HPE iLO 5 is briefly presented in the [HPE Reference API](https://servermanagementportal.ext.hpe.com/) documentation. With two examples, this document illustrates what is happening when properties are modified in those subsystems using the Redfish REST API against HPE servers.
+
+**NOTE**: The `SmartStorageConfig` [data type](https://servermanagementportal.ext.hpe.com/docs/concepts/datatypesandcollections/) is [deprecated in HPE iLO 6](https://servermanagementportal.ext.hpe.com/docs/redfishservices/ilos/ilo6/ilo6_adaptation/#hpe-smart-storage-model-oem-deprecated) based servers.
+
+**NOTE**: The latest versions of iLO 5 firmware support both the HPE `SmartStorageConfig` and the DMTF standard storage models. Volume management with controllers implementing the DMTF storage model is described in the [HPE server management portal](https://servermanagementportal.ext.hpe.com/docs/redfishservices/ilos/supplementdocuments/storage/).
 
 We assume that the reader is familiar with REST APIs in general and Redfish in particular. A good entry point for developers to grasp the power of Redfish is the [iLO RESTful API Ecosystem](https://www.hpe.com/us/en/servers/restful-api.html#).
