To verify the firmware version currently running on an online A7173A adapter, use the mptutil <device_file> command. For more information about online and offline firmware verification or updates, see “Verify or Update A7173A Adapter Firmware On HP 9000 Systems”, or “Verify or Update A7173A Adapter Firmware on HP Integrity Systems”.
To determine the device files for the A7173A adapters in your system, use the ioscan -fnkd mpt command:
# ioscan -fnkd mpt
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
==================================================================
ext_bus 6 1/0/2/0/0 mpt CLAIMED INTERFACE SCSI Ultra320 A6961-60011
/dev/mpt6
ext_bus 7 1/0/2/0/1 mpt CLAIMED INTERFACE SCSI Ultra320 A6961-60011
/dev/mpt7
ext_bus 8 1/0/4/0/0 mpt CLAIMED INTERFACE SCSI Ultra320 A6961-60011
/dev/mpt8
ext_bus 9 1/0/4/0/1 mpt CLAIMED INTERFACE SCSI Ultra320 A6961-60011
/dev/mpt9 |
The device file for each channel of each A7173A adapter is in the second line of the ioscan output for each channel. In the sample output, the device files are /dev/mpt6, /dev/mpt7, /dev/mpt8, and /dev/mpt9.
When you have determined the device files, use the mptutil <device_file> command to determine the firmware version currently running (in ROM) on the A7173A adapter. Both channels on each adapter share the same firmware, so it is only necessary to query one channel to determine the current firmware version. For example:
 |
# mptutil /dev/mpt8
