firmware level of the disk

[jamshed]

Does anyone know how can i find the firmware version of the disk?

[Patrick Wallek]

You have to use the *stm diagnostic tools. Invoke one of cstm, mstm or xstm. Then select each disk and run an Information Log on it. That will tell you the firmware.

I am assuming that you are talking about the internal disks on a machine or some JBOD disks you have. If you are talking about disks in a disk array then you will have to use tools appropriate for that array to look at the disks in the array.

Do you use Vitual Array , EVA or disk array???
If you use VA, EVA, it is easy to check the disk firmware with CommandView SDM.

echo "selclass type disk;info;wait;infolog" | /usr/sbin/cstm

If you don't have cstm (the online diagnostics) you need to get them loaded as soon as possible. Use your latest SupportPlus CDROM or download a copy from: http://www.software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayInstallInfo.do?productNumber=B6191AAE

If you are using a disk array then

amdload -i

will display the firmware revisions for all hardware components of the specified disk array.

Hi jamshed,

You can use the Online Diagnostics Tool. You may also want to consider getting System Information Reporter (SIR) from HP Solution Center. It's a good sysad tool to have.
