HBA firmware version numbers explanation

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • When we run a command such as:
systool -c scsi_host -v -d host3 | grep version
  • Different firmware values are observed :
    84xx_fw_version     = ""
    driver_version      = "8.04.00.08.06.4-k"
    fw_version          = "5.08.00 (90d5)"
    mpi_version         = ""
    optrom_bios_version = "3.13"
    optrom_efi_version  = "2.22"
    optrom_fcode_version= "2.03"
    optrom_fw_version   = "5.03.15 128"
    optrom_gold_fw_version= ""
    phy_version         = ""
  • What is the HBA firmware version in this case?

fw_version?
optrom_fcode_version?
optrom_fw_version?
optrom_gold_fw_version?
