System Firmware Version ssh through iLO

[wakesk8]

I have several DL360 G5, DL380 G5's in our infrastructure, all running iLO or iLO2 Advanced. I am able to ssh into iLO IP without issue and run show /system1 command to get the server's Serial, Product, and Model #. I've seen referenced in iLO Scripting manuals (specifically HP Scripting techniques for Integrity and Hp900 Entry-Level Servers) one can use the SYSREV command to Show Firware Revisions. Wondering if this is available on the Proliant Servers as well? Currently running iLO Advanced 1.50 on a Dl380 for testing.

If it's available any help on the context would be appreciated.

hi,

the SYSREV, command are possible run on

Service Processor (GSP or MP)

Hi,

I want to get the SYSREV output from Prloiant servers as follwos which has been collected from RX7640 using manage processor level.

Can some one help me out regarding this.

[Torsten.]

You have an Integrity server and this is really different compared to proliants.

Log on to the iLO and you will see iLO and BIOS and power management version - this is all what a proliant has - except other controller (HBA) etc.

BTW, you prepared the output, because the rx7640 has only 2 cells max, your output shows 4 cells, must be a rx8640 running release version 4.1, right?

Hi Torsten,

Yes, the above output as for RX9640. In the similar way we can find out out the installed firmware information in PARISC servers as well as in integrity servers and also in blade integrity servers.

So similar way I am trying to check the installed firmware version in proliant servers with single command.

[Matti_Kurkela]

There is no single command like SYSREV, but the version of the iLO & system firmware versions is certainly available.

Immediately as you log in to iLO, the login message will include iLO version number:

$ ssh ilouser@ilohostname
ilouser@ilohostname's password: ********
User:ilouser logged-in to ILOHOSTNAME.(11.22.33.44)
iLO 3 Advanced 1.28 at  Jan 13 2012
Server Name: serverhost.company.example
Server Power: On

</>hpiLO-> 

 Then, you can use the "show" command to get the system model, serial number & system firmware version:

</>hpiLO-> show system1

status=0
status_tag=COMMAND COMPLETED

</>hpiLO-> show system1/firmware1

    cd version exit show 


</>hpiLO-> 

 This was from a new system, but even an old ML370 G3 can do the same, although the command to see the system firmware version is "show system1/firmware" instead of "show system1/firmware1". (Just running "show" without any arguments will list the available targets on the current level, and you can use the "cd" command to move deeper into the hierarchy.)

Another way to see the iLO firmware version is "show map1/firmware1".

With the iLO3 systems, you can apparently even get the disk firmware versions with "show system1/drives1", but the SmartArray controller firmware version does not seem to be available through iLO.
