How to find PDC level on Itanium

Scott Torgerson_2 — Sat, 18 Mar 2006 00:44:49 GMT

How can I find the PDC levels on Itanium servers (rx8620) from the command line. I used to grep for it in /car/adm/tombstones/ts99. But I can't find that file any more.

Hi,

I use 2 methods,

1) #/usr/sbin/diag/contrib/pdcinfo

2) #/usr/sbin/cstm
cstm>scl type proc
cstm>info
cstm>il

In the output , look for the line.."PDC Firmware Revision: " ...

That did not work. The pdcinfo executable is not in my contrib directory, and when I tried cstm I got the following:

cstm>scl type proc
^-- (SelClass) is currently disabled. --

Hi,

instead of "scl type proc" can you try just "sall" and continue further.

I get the same error:

cstm>sall
^-- (SelAll) is currently disabled. --

Hi,

pdcinfo ,I believe is for PA-risc. And sall for cstm, in Itanium, doesn't seem to throw the version of EFI.. anyway .still looking out for info, I will let you know, once I'm successful..
