Hi,

here is a kb file that explain how to determine storage and network adapter versions. I guess you are looking for fnic and enic versions right?

VMware KB: Determining Network/Storage firmware and driver version in ESXi/ESX 4.x and ESXi 5.x

Looks like that.

vmkload_mod -s fnic | grep Version

Version: Version 1.6.0.10, Build: 1198611, Interface: 9.2 Built on: Feb 14 2014

~ # ethtool -i vmnic0

driver: enic

version: 2.1.2.50

firmware-version: 2.2(2c)

bus-info: 0000:06:00.0

Hi,

the firmware is based on your usc image. So check the ucs version and you will be able to see what firmware you are using.

To check the version, you could easy use the ucs manager software. But normaly, if you not installed a special firmware version only for your fnics, then the version is the same as the enic version.

Are you using a VIC Card? We are, therefor the firmware version is the same.
