Validating Driver and Firmware Versions

Use the console operating system to identify Converged Network Adapters on a VMware ESX/ESXi 4.0 system.

To validate the Converged Network Adapter driver and firmware versions:

1.Discover the device using lspci.

2.List the subdirectories by issuing the following command:

# ls /proc/scsi:

If the qla2xxx directory is present, the QLogic FCoE adapter driver is installed on the VMware ESX/ESXi 4.0 host server.

3.List the QLogic FCoE adapters present on the ESX host server by issuing the following command:

#ls /proc/scsi/qla2xxx

1 2 3 4 5 6

4.Display additional details for a specific FCoE adapter by issuing the following command:

# cat /proc/scsi/qla2xxx/<adapter_number>

In this command, <adapter_number> is an adapter number.
