Firmware of HBA on ESX Servers

[Guv]

We use ESX V3.0.2 and run them on Dell Blade servers. They have HBA fibre cards installed which we connect to the SAN to.

I need to know the firmware version of the HBA's. Is there a command on the console of the ESX server to find this.

Hi,

Take a loot in the /proc/scsi/your_ha_driver/port_number

For me, a :

cat /proc/scsi/qla2300/1

gave me :

QLogic PCI to Fibre Channel Host Adapter for HPAE312A:

Firmware version: 4.00.29, Driver version 7.08-vm33.1

Boot Code Version:

BIOS : v1.26, Fcode : v1.17, EFI : v1.09

you can check that in the below location.

/proc/scsi/lpfc

there you see the number listed as 1, 2 and all

cat the file.

example :

]# cat 1

Emulex LightPulse FC SCSI 7.3.2_vmw2

Emulex LP10000 2Gb PCI-X Fibre Channel Adapter on PCI bus 04 device 08 irq 129

SerialNum: VM60443733

Firmware Version: 1.92A1 (T2D1.92A1)

Hdw: 1001206d

these have the information of the hba installed in the machine.
