Does anyone know how to read the firmware version on Emulex fc HBA
adapters when using the native solaris 10 drivers?

I need to get this info without installing new apps/drivers.


The qlogic HBA's seem easy using fcinfo (if you have solaris 10) or
scli... but the emulex info eludes me (and drives me sorta nuts).

Thanks!

fcinfo hba-port  seems to work for me:

Sorry.. I meant my challenge is getting this info on Sol 8 and 9.
fcinfo did work ok for me on 10 as well.

Sol 10 appears to be the first Solaris to have decent Emulex support. 
I had nothing but problems on Sol8/Sol9 with Emulex until I got their
driver/utility package directly from them. 

Ie. emlxadm will most likely get what you want.

After some research, you're correct. Emulex provided me the url where
I could get it. Emlxadm may work with native solaris drivers (Sol 8/9)
but they can't be too old.

Its looking like I can't get firmware versions without adding patches
or updating drivers.
