HBA Firmware upgrade

[PatRoy]

Hi.

I'm just wondering... new to HPUX v3..

How can I tell what type of HBA I've got installed and weither or not it's at the lastest firmware version... How do I check it's version.

Same for any other firmwares the server might have also.. It's an rx6600.

I know machinfo gives me the following...

Firmware info:
Firmware revision: 04.03
FP SWA driver revision: 1.18
IPMI is supported on this system.
BMC firmware revision: 5.23


But Im just not sure what info that's for...

Thank you very much.

Hi Patrick,

your server firmware is current.

For HBAs it depends on what you have, see

Hi Patrick,

first try to get the hba's device files

ioscan -fnC fc

fc 2 1/0/2/1/0 fcd CLAIMED INTERFACE HP AB378-60101 4Gb Single Port PCI/PCI-X Fibre Channel Adapter (FC Port 1)
/dev/fcd2
fc 3 1/0/4/1/0 fcd CLAIMED INTERFACE HP AB378-60101 4Gb Single Port PCI/PCI-X Fibre Channel Adapter (FC Port 1)
/dev/fcd3
then

fcdutil /dev/fcd3 will display all the driver and firmware info

have fun,
bobby

Hi Patrick,

"ioscan" and "fcmsutil" will assist with the HBA information that you are looking for.

Thank you all. That's pretty much what I needed... However, looking at the rx6600 drivers and software download page:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3257037&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=3257036&swLang=13&taskId=135&swEnvOID=54#29215

How can I tell which fiber card I'm using? (new in this job so ain't got a thing to work with). Thought the fcmsutil would of told me, but not really... ??

Thanks again.

Fiber channel cards are not the only HBAs with firmware - keep this in mind.

However, for most cards you see the model already in ioscan

fc 0 0/0/2/0/0/0/0 fcd CLAIMED INTERFACE HP AH401A 8Gb Dual Port PCIe Fibre Channel Adapter (FC Port 1)
/dev/fcd0

or by running

# fcmsutil /dev/fcd0 vpd

[PatRoy]

Torsten, I also thought ioscan would tell me, but no...

From the HP firware download page, I've got either the FC2143 or the FC2243 HBA.

ioscan tells me this:

Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
================================================================
fc 0 0/3/1/0 fcd CLAIMED INTERFACE HP AB379-60101 4Gb Dual Port PCI/PCI-X Fibre Channel Adapter (FC Port 1)

fc 1 0/3/1/1 fcd CLAIMED INTERFACE HP AB379-60101 4Gb Dual Port PCI/PCI-X Fibre Channel Adapter (FC Port 2)
/dev/fcd1
fc 2 0/7/1/0 fcd CLAIMED INTERFACE HP AB379-60101 4Gb Dual Port PCI/PCI-X Fibre Channel Adapter (FC Port 1)
/dev/fcd2
fc 3 0/7/1/1 fcd CLAIMED INTERFACE HP AB379-60101 4Gb Dual Port PCI/PCI-X Fibre Channel Adapter (FC Port 2)
/dev/fcd3

So I'm not sure what it should be...

[Torsten.]

What happens if you run

# fcmsutil /dev/fcd0 vpd

This looks like the correct firmware:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=1824064&prodTypeId=329290&prodSeriesId=432322&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=54

It's from 2007 already.
