cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/fwrev
1.11A5 (U3D1.11A5), sli-3
I thought, above command displays HBA FW version. I have HP 8GB Dual channel PCI-E FC HBA. On HP website, I see current version for my HBA model as 2013.08.01.
Firmware - Storage Fibre Channel Description Current version Size (MB)
- 2013.08.01
- 10 Sep 2013
I am confused with variation in the version numbers. Can any one please clarify, on how to find the HBA firmware version from OS?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Solution"HP 8GB Dual channel PCI-E FC HBA" does not uniquely identify the HBA model.
HP has at least two HBAs matching that description.
One of them is Qlogic-based:
Another is Emulex-based:
Your /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/fwrev output looks like Emulex firmware version number syntax.
Looking at the download description page for the RHEL 6 firmware update for the above-mentioned Emulex card,
it looks like 2013.08.01 is the version of the package containing a collection of Emulex firmwares + a Linux firmware flashing tool.
By checking the "Enhancements" page, you will find the actual firmware version numbers contained in the package:
According to that (in case that awkwardly long link does not work), the 2013.08.01 package contains firmware version 2.01A4 for the 8GB Emulex HBAs (exception: version 2.02X6 for HBA model LPe1205a).
