How to confirm the exact firmware version of NIC in ESXi
Hi Guys
the enviroment :
ESXi 6.5U2
BL660c Gen9
NIC HPE FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 630FLB Adapter
I'm using SPP 201903 to update the firmware of 630FLB and install the latest driver for it.
in ESXi
I saw these information of this NIC
the FW is 7.13.109.0
the boot code is 7.15.56
driver version 1.0.77.2
driver : qfle3
but In VMware HCL,as the attament shows
driver 1.0.77.2 is compatible with the firmware 7.15.xx
actually ,in term of HPE,there is no actual firmware version ,just boot code,UEFI version ,etc..
Please kindly help to confirm if the firmware version in HCL means boot code of HPE.
thanks.

Re: How to confirm the exact firmware version of NIC in ESXi
Hello Terry,
Greetings !
In order to IDENTIFY NIC DRIVER AND FIRMWARE VERSIONS on the esxi host .,Please use the below mentioned steps.
Do an SSH Session to th esxi and run the following commands .
to get a list of the installed NICs on the host --> esxcli network nic list
Now that we have a list of the installed NICs, we can pull detailed configuration information. Run the esxcli network nic get command specifying the name of the NIC necessary
