Emulex FlexibleLOMB firmware information
Don asked:
**************
What is the easiest way to find the firmware level for the Emulex FLB on a running ESX Gen8 server? I have looked through the OA but the firmware levels for the blades only cover the BIOS and iLO.
************
Input from Chad:
***************
From the ESXi server in the vSphere client, either connected directly to the server or via vCenter:
- From the console of an ESXi server, you have a couple of choices
- Ethtool -i vmnic# with number being the vmnic number
- For firmware versions of all components
§
/usr/lib/vmware/vm-support/bin/swfw.sh
**************
Input from Hans:
**************
Another way of finding FW and Driver levels (not only from the NIC’s) is by generating the vm-support dump file and uploading that tgz file to the VM-Support Analyzer portal. That portal will make a textfile conaining ‘all’ the info you need. (and probably much more)
1) Making the vm-support dump file:
- The VMware console is displayed. Login as root.
- At the VMware [root@ESX1 ~] prompt, type /usr/bin/vm-support and press enter.
- When the vm-support script has completed, note the output file name (we will call this the vm-support file), then type logout to logout of the VMware server.
- Copy the tgz file to your laptop so you can upload it to the analyzer portal on our intranet
VM-support analyzer portal:

Remark: The VM-support analyzer portal can only handle 5.x dumps.
