Can we get BIOS and ILO firmware version for Windows by running command in HPSA???
What are those commands??

I tried running cmd command
'wmic bios get biosversion' also powershell command 'Get-WmiObject win32_bios' didn't get the expected output.
Can anyone suggest/ help on this???

When you say "HPSA", are you referring to the "HP Support Assistant"? If so, the latter is for HP Inc platforms, not for HPE platforms.

I tried running cmd command
'wmic bios get biosversion' also powershell command 'Get-WmiObject win32_bios' didn't get the expected output.

FWIW, and lacking any real authority here, without using some HPE-specific utilities/Powershell cmdlets, it appears that you need to do a little reading between the lines to interpret the WMI output. For example, a system I have here with BIOS version 2.92 and iLO version 2.79, I get this from Powershell:

PS C:\> get-wmiObject -class win32_bios | format-List -property systembios*, embeddedcontroller*

SystemBiosMajorVersion         : 2
SystemBiosMinorVersion         : 92
EmbeddedControllerMajorVersion : 2
EmbeddedControllerMinorVersion : 79

where "SystemBios*" is the BIOS version and "EmbeddedController*" is the iLO. Hopefully someone that knows better than I will respond (and if what I stated is accurate, with a better way to format the Powershell output).

You can use below command to check the BIOS version:-

wmic bios get biosversion

To get the ILO version you will have to install HPONCFG utility. Once you install the hponcfg utility there will be an xml file created in below directory:-

C:\Program Files\HP\hponcfg>hponcfg /w myilo.xml

This xml file will have the ilo configuration along with the current ILO version.

Also the msinfo32 should give you this information
