Firmware and OS Information

[Vinesh Dhevcharran]

Hi,

Can someone please assist with 2 questions:

1. Last week a HP engineer came in and did a firmware upgrade on our machine. How can I now tell what version of firmware we are running?

2. On Solaris I can run metastat and this will give me a listing of all the RAID devices. Is there an equivalent command for LVM so that I can grep for the status of each of the logical volumes? If I use lvdisplay I have to provide each logical volume!

You need the OnlineDiag bundle installed (Online Diagnostics) then run;

cstm <sel all
il
Done
quit
EOF

And this will show the PDC firmware revision on your server.

Hi,

For number 2 you could use a for loop such as

for LV in `vgdisplay -v | grep "LV Name" | awk '{print $3}'`
do
lvdisplay $LV | grep -e "LV Name" -e "LV Status"
done

wchihi will give you l a list of lv's followed by their status.

Can't think of a single command which would do that.

For number 1, is it disk firmware? if so dependant on the type of disk diskinfo -v should give you that

The equivalent of metastat

/usr/sbin/lvdisplay,
/usr/sbin/pvdisplay,
/usr/sbin/vgdisplay


you can find the firmware version using


YOu should have stm installed on the machine

# echo "selclass qualifier cpu;info;wait;infolog"|cstm > /tmp/firmware

#grep -i /tmp/firmware


Thanks
