Confirming the A7173A Adapter Firmware Version

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” (page 46), or “Verify or Update A7173A Adapter Firmware on HP Integrity Systems” (page 46).

To determine the device files for the A7173A adapters in your system, use the ioscan -fnkd mpt command:

#ioscan -fnkd mpt

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
