Get NIC firmware versions

[Kamote_Me]

We have many HPE servers ranging from Gen7 to Gen 10 servers. I was able to get the NIC driver versions but how do you get its firmware? I saw hponcfg but not sure how to fetch this details. Any recommendations?

Hello there, usually if you run the HPE SUM software to analyze the server's firmware version, you should be able to see the NIC's firmware current version.

for the Gen10 servers, using the iLO web interface, it'll show the NIC's current firmware.

Also, depending on the OS installed on the servers, there are some other ways to get that, for example, using VMware's CLI:

#esxcli network nic get -n vmnicX where X is the id of the NIC.

RHEL:

#ethtool –i Network port name

Another option, if you're using the OneView console, you can generate a report with the current firmware for all the servers being monitored/managed in OneView.

Best regards.

Im using windows and trying to make script to get this informations on all
of our hpe physical servers. I could extract the firmwares of other devices
like hba but not the NIC. It could be hidden somewhere or theres a command
which i dont know.
