How to check PDC firmware version ?

[omars]

Hi ,
How can i check PDC Firmware version while the system is up & running ? At present , there is no online diagnostic ( or support -tool-manager ) .

The server is running on HP-UX 10.20. Any adb commands that reveal this info ??

Many thanks .

I'm not sure if this can be extracted by adb. As far as I know there are 3 "usual" ways to do this.
1) STM
2) BCH - Boot Console Handler (requires reboot)
3) /var/tombstones/ts99
Looks like 1 and 2 are out of the question because you don;t have STM and you don;t want to reboot the system to find out. 3) is a possibility (not sure for a 10.x system), anyway check if you got /var/tombstones/ts99 file (this is pdc log file). If yes then you should be able to ..
# grep PDC /var/tombstones/ts99

Hi,
I am not sure if there is any command to get this but you can use NIKIL script to get Firmware version this script is available on this forum itself.

STM can be unreliable for this, instead use :

grep -i pdc /var/tombstones/ts99

-or-

/usr/sbin/diag/contrib/pdcinfo

1.# cstm
2.cstm>map
3.cstm>sel dev 29; info
(assumed device 29 is CPU)
4.cstm>il
5.q to leave, exit to exit cstm

grep -i pdc /var/tombstones/ts99

/usr/sbin/diag/contrib/pdcinfo

STM is often unreliable at reporting versions so cross reference STM info.
