VMware: How to check HBA firmware version without rebooting ESX host
I need to find out witch firmware version is running on my HBA without rebooting the ESX host.. I thought this was possible by GUI but couldn’t find it, so I decided to check this by console. Give the following commands:
Navigate to:
– cd proc/scsi/qla or lpfc820
– ls –liaTo view the HBA information:
– cat 6
– cat 7
Result:
It wasn’t so difficult!
Just what I need to find out, thanks
Thanks for ths info, much appreciated.
How can we gather this info like (FC H/W, FC Firmware and FC Driver version) for a bunch of servers. Is there a script that would do the trick?
Cheers!
Ravi
