Hi,
I want to get bootcode,PXE, UEFI, NCSI,CCM firmware version in my DL 380 Gen 9 prolient server. It has Broadcom Network controller. (HP Ethernet 1Gb 4-Port 331i Adapter).

The server is flashed with suse linux OS.

Can you help me to get the firmware versions(above said) with simple linux commands.

I tried with ethtool. But with this i got only bootcode, NCSI firmware version & rest of the versions didn't get.

Please help me in this regard.

Thank You,
Hari

Re: Get firmware version of Broadcom Network controller in Prolient Gen 9 server

Hi Suman,

  Thank You for your response.  But it didn't help me. When i ran lshw command i get following info on firmware versions.

 

firmware=5719-v1.38 NCSI v1.2.46.0

 

Here i get bootcode(1.38) & NCSI(1.2.46.0). But i didn't PXE & other items.

 

Please provide me any pointers that can help me. 

 

I even tried .SCEXE(Smart component - flash utility). But the information is not consistent with the differetnt versions of flash utilities.

 

 

 

fyi
