Thanks Bernhard.

I have another question : in admmgr(1M) man pages, reference is made for the HP firmware version (HP11, HP15, etc.)

How can i find this firmware version ?

Cyril.

Cyril,

there is the armdsp command
e.g. armdsp -a (a like *all*)

gives you about anything you can list

therefore:
# armdsp -a VA_alias > /tmp/armdsp.out
# more /tmp/armdsp.out

Bernhard

All right Bernhard,

my firmware revision for my disks is HP03.
So i suppose i can only use the first syntax of the armmgr command ?

Cyril,

the differences in the armmgr command depends upon the firmware of the *controllers*, the disk fw has nothing to do with command interpretation.

I believe it is armdsp -c (c like controller) that gives you information on controllers only.

Bernhard,

i only have 2 lines speaking of firmware version :

Firmware Revision:____________________38370A100P0109031436
Battery Charger Firmware Revision:____5.0

As you can see, the fw version is an infamous number. Nothing to done with those mentioned in armmgr(1M).

Cyril,

yes fw numbering has changed for the VA7x10 models.

Actually you do have firmware A100 - this is part of the "firmware revision" string.

I guess A100 is more or less equivalent to HP18 or HP19 for the VA7x00 models.

Bernhard
