driver version of HBA card(s)

[Rick Garland]

Hi all:

rp7410 running HPUX 11.11.

I have run the fcmsutil command against my /dev/td[0-1] and am lookinh at the Driver Version line. It states that the version is PATH_11.11: libtd.a: ...: PHSS_26799

Question, what is the driver version of the HBA card?

[Steven E. Protter · Accepted solution]

fcmsutil /dev/td0 rom_fw_update

That gets the rom on the card.

swlist -l fileset | grep -i tach

Will show you the driver version information.

Hi Rick,

/usr/conf/lib/libfcms.a is the libary archive that contains the object files for the drivers (fcpdev, fcparray etc).

# what /usr/conf/lib/libfcms.a

the above command will tell you the version number of the object files also any patches that effected the driver.

Cool, got it!

What is the latest version of the driver?

From fcmsutil man page:

For TACHYON TL and TACHYON XL2 cards, it provides
information such as the N_port_ID, Node World Wide Name
and Port World Wide Name, Topology, Vendor ID, the Chip
Revision Number, Device ID, the Driver State, Hardware
path, number of Assisted IOs and number of Active
Logins, Presence of Dino bus bridge, Maximum frame size
and Driver version. As per the FC protocol, Node WWN
will be numerically one more than the Port WWN. For
TACHYON XL2 card (A6795A), in addition to the above,
Negotiated Link Speed is also indicated.



So, fcmsutil on mine reveals:

XL2 Chip Revision No is = 2.2

Does that help?

UX 11.11:
Starting with Application Release Dec 2001 (DART 55) all four TL/XL2 adapters,
A6684A/A6685A/A5158A/A6795A, share a common driver. It is already included in
Core-OS (version B.11.11.09 as of Dec01):

FibrChanl-00.FC-TACHYON-TL B.11.11.09 PCI/HSC FibreChannel;Supptd
HW=A6684A,A6685A,A5158A,A6795A


The appropriate patch for the Tachyon TL/TS/XL2 driver family is:
UX 11.11 PHSS_24121 (or newer) this patch is only for <= B.11.11.06

Geoff:

I have XL2 chip revision = 2.3

What I have found is I am driver B.11.11.09
Trying to find out if a later version of the driver exists. I have not been able to find anything later but I have found an updated patch. PHSS_28509 and it covers the driver version I listed. I have been looking to see if a later version of the driver exists. So far I cannot find. Doing a double check.

Thanks

Looks like 11.11.09 is it.

Thanks all!

[Rick Garland]

11.11.09 is it.
Thanks!
