Hello, we have an old L2000-44 (rp5450) running HP-UX 11.11 that I'm trying to determine the current firmware level on. There isn't a sysrev command at the GSP prompt:
GSP> sysrev
Unrecognized Command : Type HE for help on the available commands
I searched help but couldn't find an equivalent command.
Does anyone out there know how to find the firmware level on this box?
I was able to get the PDC from cstm but nothing else.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Re: sysrev command
The rp54xx series has a much simpler firmware structure than the newer, bigger servers: there is only the PDC firmware and the GSP firmware, nothing more.
You can see the GSP firmware version listed on the top-most line of the HE command output.
The rp54xx series had two hardware versions of GSPs, indicated by the first letter of the firmware version numbers: it's either A or B. Don't even try to install revision A firmware on a revision B GSP or vice versa.
The older, revision A firmware is a bit hard to find these days. See this thread for links to HP's FTP server:
http://forums11.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1298914
If you have a revision B GSP, read the firmware installation instructions very carefully: if your current firmware version is very old, you cannot update directly to the latest firmware. You must first update to a certain firmware version (which has a special, two-step procedure, detailed in the notes of that firmware version) and only then to the latest & greatest.

Re: sysrev command
Hi Tom,
# pdcinfo
answer y and you'll get a basic tombstone file output. Look at the top line for the system PDC Version:, the latest for your system is 44.28 and can be found here:
readme:
ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/firmware_patches/hp/cpu/PF_CRHW4428.txt
patch file:
ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/firmware_patches/hp/cpu/PF_CRHW4428.tar.gz
And as mentioned above, the GSP also has F/W and you need to know which version (A or B) you have:
ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/firmware_patches/hp/cpu/PF_CPREGSPA0112.txt
ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/firmware_patches/hp/cpu/PF_CPREGSPA0112.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/firmware_patches/hp/cpu/PF_CCANGSPB0220.txt
ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/firmware_patches/hp/cpu/PF_CCANGSPB0220.tar.gz
Hope this helps,
