Re: Need HBA firmware info on BL680C running Linux 2.4.21-58.ELvmnix
I sure hope the only way to see the firmware version on the BL680C HBAs doesn't involve taking down the system.
Anyone else?
Thanks again :-).

a)
Log into SAN switch where is your server connected (locate the port first!),run Zone admin, find port of your server. go down the tree-list, at the bottom is your firmware and driver version.
b)
run HBA software to determine HBA firmware - Sansurfer if you have Qlogic, HbaAnywhere if you have Emulex ones. If not installed, install it first.
c)
could be determined via linux command, I am not sure about exact syntax, you need to use:
cat /proc/scsi/qla2300/* - just list /proc/scsi/....

... which seems to be enough information for our purposes although hbanwyware would probably give us a better number ...

Re: Need HBA firmware info on BL680C running Linux 2.4.21-58.ELvmnix
With regard to your last response:
could be determined via linux command, I am not sure about exact syntax, you need to use:
cat /proc/scsi/qla2300/* - just list /proc/scsi/....
We found that the only file or data in /proc/scsi is a text file called scsi which has information about the symmetrix the Blade is hooked to ... but nothing about the HBA firmware.

Solutionso - I can provide more detail...
At least we know you have an Emulex HBA foc c-class blades.
This will help you:
for 2.4 kernels, you can find the firmware version by typing cat /proc/scsi/lpfc/n, where n is the host adapter port that is represented as an SCSI host bus in Linux, for example, Firmware Version: 1.81 (H2D1.81X1)
After you ran it, you will know your firmware and you can use this HP link to download driver, firmware and HBAnyware utility to upgrade it if you want.

to make it effective, you stil have to reboot the server.
I hope you are happy camper now... :)
