Operating Systems AIX Is There a Method to Obtain EEPROM Info from SFP+ Post 302977345 by The Doctor on Saturday 16th of July 2016 09:54:16 AM

Is There a Method to Obtain EEPROM Info from SFP+

Does AIX (or even the ASMI interface) provide a method to obtain basic data from a SFP+ (aka 10Gb transceiver) installed in a NIC card ?

In this case, the machine is remote (to me), a Power8, with EN0S adapter (2 x 10GbE and 2 x 1Gb).

Specifically, just trying to determine basic things from the transceivers installed, such as:
  • serial number
  • firmware level
  • manufacturer
  • part number
  • any other basics worth knowing
My travels thru google & AIX Diagnostics has me thinking the answer is "no", but maybe someone here knows otherwise. Thx.

NAME
via-diag - EEPROM setup and diagnostic program for the VIA Rhine vt86c100 and vt3043 Ethernet controller chips. SYNOPSIS
via-diag [options] DESCRIPTION
via-diag is a program that you can use to diagnose problems with VIA Rhine vt86c100 and vt3043 Ethernet controller chips. OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. -h, --help Show summary of options. -V, --version Show version of program. -v, --verbose Verbose mode. -q, --quiet Be very unverbose. -# <cardnum> Use card number <cardnum>. -a, --show_all_registers Print all registers. -e, --show-eeprom Dump EEPROM contents to stdout. -E, --emergency-rewrite Re-write a corrupted EEPROM. -p, --base-address <port> Specify port to use. -A, --Advertise <mediaype> Advertise media type. Valid Options are: 10baseT, 100baseT4, 100baseTx, 100baseTx-FD, 100baseTx-HD, 10baseT-FD and 10baseHD. -F, --new-interface <interface> Interface number. Options that make sense are: 10baseT, 10base2, AUI, 100baseTx, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTx-FDX, 100baseT4, 100baseFx, 100baseFx-FDX, MII, HomePNA and Autosense. -H, --new-hwaddress <address> Set card to a new hardware address. -m, --show-mii Dump MII management registers. -R, --reset Reset the transceiver. -T, --test Do register and SRAM test. -w, --write-EEPROM <values> Write to the EEPROMS with the specified values. Do not use this, if you do not know what you do! -f, --force-detection Try to identify the card, even if it is active. -t, --chip-type <card> Explicitly set the chip. To get all valid numbers, run via-diag with the options '-t -1'. SEE ALSO
