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_sync_pkt(9E)						Driver Entry Points						 tran_sync_pkt(9E)

NAME
tran_sync_pkt - SCSI HBA memory synchronization entry point SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/scsi/scsi.h> void prefixtran_sync_pkt(struct scsi_address *ap, struct scsi_pkt *pkt); INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris architecture specific (Solaris DDI). PARAMETERS
ap A pointer to a scsi_address(9S) structure. pkt A pointer to a scsi_pkt(9S) structure. DESCRIPTION
The tran_sync_pkt() vector in the scsi_hba_tran(9S) structure must be initialized during the HBA driver's attach(9E) to point to an HBA driver entry point to be called when a target driver calls scsi_sync_pkt(9F). tran_sync_pkt() must synchronize a HBA's or device's view of the data associated with the pkt, typically by calling ddi_dma_sync(9F). The operation may also involve HBA hardware-specific details, such as flushing I/O caches, or stalling until hardware buffers have been drained. SEE ALSO
attach(9E), tran_init_pkt(9E), ddi_dma_sync(9F), scsi_hba_attach(9F), scsi_init_pkt(9F), scsi_sync_pkt(9F), scsi_address(9S), scsi_hba_tran(9S), scsi_pkt(9S) Writing Device Drivers NOTES
A target driver may call tran_sync_pkt() on packets for which no DMA resources were allocated. SunOS 5.10 1 Nov 1993 tran_sync_pkt(9E)
