PDC revision level

[CITEC HP TEAM]

How do I determine the PDC revision level on a D270 running HP-UX 11.0 without having to reboot ?

You can get that simply by executing a series of commands if HPUX Support Tools ( OnlineDiag) has been installed on the system.

Do ioscan -k to indentify hardware path of CPU.
Output will be like this.
..............................
32 processor Processor
49 memory Memory

This indicates that 32 is hardware path for CPU.

# cstm << EOF
> sel path 32
> info; wait
> infolog
> EOF

Take a look at "PDC Firmware Revision".

That is right, you should use the Support Tools Manager, but you can also run it graphically. Use "xstm", click on the processor icon, right click and run "Information". The result displayed after a while will show you the PDC Firmware revision.

Hi:

If you haven't installed the online DIAGNOSTICS bundle from the Support Plus CD you are missing some very valuable tools. STM (aka "CSTM", "MSTM", "XSTM") can also show what memory slots are available, disk serial numbers, etc.

...just anothe way to do this with STM:
echo "selclass qualifier cpu; info; wait; il" | cstm | grep Firmware
