How to find Drive Firmware Version?

[chandrasekarmp]

Hi All,

Could any one please help me to find "LTO3 & LTO4 Tape Drive firmware version from CLI in Netbackup" (other than looking in to SL console)

IBM Tape Drives attached to Solaris 10 server.

Regards,

Chandrasekar

tpautoconf -t on a media server with access to all tape drives.
(Command is in /usr/openv/volmgr/bin)

It will return something like this:

TPAC60 IBM     ULTRIUM-TD2     53Y2 1110295062 2 0 0 0 Tape0 - - 

TPAC60 IBM     ULTRIUM-TD2     53Y2 1110302222 2 0 1 0 Tape1 - - 

......

Column 3 is the firmware version.

Or use scan, firmware rev is that 3rd column inside the ""'s

(like tpautoconf command is in /usr/openv/volmgr/bin)

scan -tape | grep -i inquiry

Inquiry    : "IBM     ULT3580-TD4     A239"
Inquiry    : "IBM     ULT3580-TD3     93G6"
Inquiry    : "IBM     ULT3580-TD3     93G6"
