Как узнать Firmware RAID и HBA адаптеров

Identifying firmware revision of fibre-channel or hardware iSCSI adapters

To determine the firmware revision of either fibre-channel or hardware iSCSI adapters:

 

Note: The examples below use a Qlogic 2300-series fibre-channel adapter, substitute as necessary.

Note: ESX versions prior to 3.5 do not report Qlogic HBA firmware revisions internally. For ESX Server 3.0.x hosts using Qlogic HBAs, it is necessary to reboot, observe the Power On Self Test screens and note the firmware revisions.

1. Run the following command to identify the actual directory name:
   
   ls /proc/scsi/
   
   Note: Qlogic directories begin with qla , Emulex directories begin with lpfc . Substitute the actual directory name in the examples below.
   
   
2. Run the following command to change to the Qlogic /proc node directory:
   
   cd /proc/scsi/qla2300/
   
   
3. Run the following command to list all adapters:
   
   ls
   
   The output appears similar to:
   
   # ls
   1 2 HbaApiNode
   
   Note: The HbaApiNode output does not appear in ESX 4.0 for Qlogic.
   
   
4. Run the following command to examine the beginning lines of the file named "1":
   
   head 1
   
   For example, to see the first four lines of "1":
   
   # head -4 1
   QLogic PCI to Fibre Channel Host Adapter for QLA2340 :
           Firmware version:  3.03.19, Driver version 7.07.04.2vmw
   
   Repeat for each number file and note the firmware version for each adapter.

Consult your vendor to determine whether your HBA is using the latest firmware version.  

Identifying firmware revision of local RAID devices

To identify the firmware revision of local RAID devices:

 

Note: The examples below show the use of an Adaptec RAID controller, substitute as necessary.

1. Run the following command to identify the actual adapter directory name in /proc/scsi :
   
   ls /proc/scsi/
   
   Note: Adaptec RAID controller directories begin with aacraid . Substitute the actual directory name in the examples below.
   
   
2. Run the following command to change to the Adaptec /proc node directory:
   
   cd /proc/scsi/aacraid_esx30/
   
   
3. Run the following command to list all adapters:
   
   ls
   
   The output appears similar to:
   
   # ls
   1
   
   
4. Run the following command to view the contents of the file named "1":
   
   cat 1
   
   The output appears similar to:
   
   # cat 1
   Adaptec Raid Controller: 1.1-5[2415]custom-IBM
   Vendor: ServeRAID  Model: 8k   
   flags=SAI_READ_CAPACITY_16
   kernel: 5.2-0[11835]
   monitor: 5.2-0[11835]
   bios: 5.2-0[11835]
   serial: 360bce3
   
   Repeat for any additional number files and note the BIOS number for each controller.

Consult your vendor to determine whether your RAID controller is using the latest BIOS revision.
