Check disk firmware

Question & Answer


Question

How do I check the firmware of a disk on an IBM Netezza 1000 system?

Answer

You can check the firmware version of a given disk by using either the nzhw command or the nzpush command.

To determine the firmware version, run the nzhw command as follows, where xxxx is the replacement disk id:

nzhw show –detail -id xxxx

[nz@P50-1E-D tmp]$ nzhw show -detail -id 1068Description HW ID Location              Role   State Serial Number        Hw Version Details----------- ----- --------------------- ------ ----- -------------------- ---------- ------------------------------Disk        1068 spa1.diskEncl1.disk1  Active Up     9QJ2VSC4000099187SD6 BC1B       931.51 GiB; Model ST31000640SS


In this example, the disk firmware is BC1B.

The command syntax for nzpush is as follows:

Usage: nzpush [-h|-help|-?] [-K kit] [-D data]
[-all|-s <list>/<list>|-spa <list> -slot <list>|-device <devlist>|-id <hwidlist>|-location <loclist>]
{help | <cmd>}

The following example runs disk level commands on the S-Blade 1 (slot 1) in SPA 1 for enclosure disk slot 1.

[nz@AMP50-1 adm]$ nzpush -s 1/1 disk id -encl 1 -slot 1 | grep Revspu0101: DSK: F/W Rev.          : BC1D

In this example, the disk firmware revision is BC1D.
