Operating Systems AIX I need command for HBA model & firmware please Post 302457746 by dukessd on Tuesday 28th of September 2010 05:25:19 PM

Silly questions.

I looked at this when it was posted and thought this is not relevant to this platform.

For a multi-vendor platform like windows or Linux or x86 it would almost make sense, if the relevant information was posted, but for AIX / rs6k / pSeries / systemP / POWER this sort of question just does not make sense.

If you can justify the questions in a way that applies to this platform then we can help but your questions just do not apply here.

For example:

1)HBA vendor, HBA model, HBA driver version & HBA firmware.

Well the vendor will be IBM or you need to look elsewhere if you have some non-IBM adapter and driver installed.
The model is in the vpd, lscfg -vl fcs<x>
The driver is a function of the AIX TL and SP, oslevel -s, emgr, Etc.
The firmware on an AIX fibre adapter (HBA is not appropriate in this environment because it is a meaningless term, also device firmware is referred to as microcode for adapters and devices around here) is also in the lscfg -vl fcsx output, in the Z9 field from memory.

So, now you know, what use is this to you?

Here we try to help people overcome genuine problems and you do not seem to have any relevant knowledge or reasonable goal so please enlighten us to what you really want to do / know / achieve and we may be able to tell what you want.

If you want to inventory your machines, or check your machines are up to date, then just ask because there are all sorts of tools for that, without you trying to reinvent the world - and then trying to understand what you have done, will do all this for you.

Welcome to AIX, better than the rest and getting better all the time.

tran_tgt_init(9E)						Driver Entry Points						 tran_tgt_init(9E)

NAME
tran_tgt_init - request to initialize HBA resources on behalf of a particular target SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/scsi/scsi.h> void prefixtran_tgt_init(dev_info_t *hba_dip, dev_info_t *tgt_dip, scsi_hba_tran_t *hba_tran, struct scsi_device *sd); INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris architecture specific (Solaris DDI). PARAMETERS
hba_dip Pointer to a dev_info_t structure, referring to the HBA device instance. tgt_dip Pointer to a dev_info_t structure, referring to the target device instance. hba_tran Pointer to a scsi_hba_tran(9S) structure, consisting of the HBA's transport vectors. sd Pointer to a scsi_device(9S) structure, describing the target. DESCRIPTION
The tran_tgt_init() vector in the scsi_hba_tran(9S) structure may be initialized during the HBA driver's attach(9E) to point to an HBA driver function to be called by the system when an instance of a target device is being created. The tran_tgt_init() vector, if not NULL,is called after the dev_info node structure is created for this target device instance, but before probe(9E) for this instance is called. Before receiving transport requests from the target driver instance, the HBA may perform any initialization required for this par- ticular target during the call of the tran_tgt_init() vector. Note that hba_tran will point to a cloned copy of the scsi_hba_tran_t structure allocated by the HBA driver if the SCSI_HBA_TRAN_CLONE flag was specified in the call to scsi_hba_attach(9F). In this case, the HBA driver may choose to initialize the tran_tgt_private field in the structure pointed to by hba_tran, to point to the data specific to the particular target device instance. RETURN VALUES
tran_tgt_init() must return: DDI_SUCCESS the HBA driver can support the addressed target, and was able to initialize per-target resources. DDI_FAILURE the HBA driver cannot support the addressed target, or was unable to initialize per-target resources. In this event, the initialization of this instance of the target device will not be continued, the target driver's probe(9E) will not be called, and the tgt_dip structure destroyed. SEE ALSO
