mmlsfirmware command

Displays the current firmware level of storage components.

Synopsis


mmlsfirmware [ --type {storage-enclosure | drive | host-adapter} ] 
             [ --serial-number SerialNumber ] [--not-latest] 
             [ -N {Node[,Node...] | NodeFile | NodeClass} ]

Availability

Available with the Elastic Storage Server.

Description

Use the mmlsfirmware command to display the current firmware levels of storage components. By default, the mmlsfirmware command collects information from the node on which it is issued and displays the firmware levels for all component types.

An asterisk (*) prepended to the available firmware value indicates that newer firmware is available. In some cases, the available firmware level might have an asterisk even though it matches the current firmware level. This indicates that a subcomponent requires updating.

Parameters

--type { storage-enclosure | drive | host-adapter }
Displays the firmware levels for a specific component type.
--serial-number SerialNumber
Displays the firmware levels for the storage enclosure with the specified serial number.
--not-latest
Displays the components for which there are available updates or for which there are no available updates.
-N {Node[,Node...] | NodeFile | NodeClass}
Specifies the nodes from which to gather firmware data.

Exit status

0
Successful completion.
nonzero
A failure has occurred.

Security

If you are a root user, the node on which the command is issued must be able to execute remote shell commands on any other node in the cluster without the use of a password and without producing any extraneous messages. For more details, see the following IBM Storage Scale RAID: Administration topic: Requirements for administering IBM Storage Scale RAID.

Examples

  1. To display the firmware level of all drives, storage enclosures, and host adapters on the current node, issue this command: 
    
mmlsfirmware
    The system displays information similar to this:

    Note: For adapters, the asterisk (*), which is prepended to the available firmware, available bios, and available UEFI values, indicates that newer firmware is available.
  2. To display the components on the current node that are not at the latest available firmware levels, issue this command: 
    
mmlsfirmware --not-latest
    The system displays information similar to this:

    Note:
    1. For adapters, the asterisk (*), which is prepended to the available firmware, available bios, and available UEFI values, indicates that newer firmware is available.
    2. Firmware was not available for the mmchfirmware command to load for the two drives in this example. This would be an unexpected situation.
  3. To display the firmware level of the storage enclosures on the current node, issue this command: 
    mmlsfirmware --type storage-enclosure
    The system displays information similar to this: 
    
                           enclosure          firmware     available
type       product id      serial number      level        firmware    location
