Hi,
Really easy for you... I found it.
run STM and get info log for the CPU device number;
or reboot and stop auto boot feature, info menu, then FV...
See ya

Check if the following works:

grep "PDC Version" /var/tombstones/ts99

I would use cstm.

Or I would boot the box. It shows up on boot a few seconds before the kernel load.

My output from previous posts command:

nada, zilch....

Wonder what the trick is. I checked on a D320 which is kinda old.

Hi Maria,

One of the easiest ways is to use cstm from piped input. Saves roaming around inside the application itself.

# echo "selclass qualifier cpu;info;wait;infolog" | cstm (CPU output)

# echo "selclass type DLT;info;wait;infolog" | cstm (DLT drives)

(I think I got the syntax right, not near a system right now.)

Cheers
Michael

And this one from the command line.

# /usr/sbin/diag/contrib/pdcinfo

Robert-Jan has it - run it like this for no banner:

/usr/sbin/diag/contrib/pdcinfo -no_banner

Other is via cstm:
To check firmware (PDC Firmware Revision needs to be at 41.02 or higher for 11i - if not - book HP to update.):

server1:/ >/usr/sbin/cstm
Running Command File (/usr/sbin/stm/ui/config/.stmrc).

Hi Maria,

I prefer by STM (as Geoff and Michael suggested):

# cstm
cstm>map
cstm>sel dev
cstm>infolog

and look for PDC firmware revision.

Or in one command:

# echo "selclass qualifier cpu;info;wait;infolog" | /usr/sbin/cstm | grep PDC

HTH.

Best regards,
Ettore
