Firmware Versions?

[Bradley Heiple]

Here is an easy one.

How do I check the current firmware versions on
an ML370 G5?

I want to check:
BIOS version
P400i SmartArray firmware
any HDD firmware

Any other firmware I might have missed in the above list.

I think this should be simple, but I can't seem to find it... :(

Hi,

this is probably the wrong forum - next time use the servers forum ;-)

I would download the smartstart firmware cd, from from it and let the system check and update if needed:

Thanx Torsten,

Sorry about the wrong forum. I'm still new at this forum business.

I've found the Firmware CD, but I need to be able to check the version manually (my boss won't trust 'automatic' software).

Will the Firmware CD show me what version I currently have?

Or can I find it in one of the consoles?

Hi,
Assuming you already have Proliant support pack installed (PSP contains drivers/monitoring tools - you can find windows 2003 version here:
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/26020.html )
you can check firmware versions from HP System Management Homepage.
For ILO firmware - go to Management Processor-> Integrated Lights-Out
For BIOS - go to System->System board
For P400 and SAS drives firmware go to Storage->SmartArray controller

>>Any other firmware I might have missed in the above list
You can check firmware of ILO as well.

If you have many Proliant servers you can use HP Systems Insight Manager
http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/index.html
With HP SIM you can create report contain firmware versions on all your servers
