Get HBA firmware version Emulex/Qlogic

[SupraOva]

I found a way to get QLogic/Emulex HBA firmware version without SSH (https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1002413)

Comment line 343 to 357 (Get-ESXIODevice.ps1) if ($pciDevice.DeviceName -match "smart array") { Write-Verbose -Message ((Get-Date -Format G) + "tGet Firmware version for: " + $pciDevice.VMKernelName) $hpsa = $esxiHost.ExtensionData.Runtime.HealthSystemRuntime.SystemHealthInfo.NumericSensorInfo | Where-Object {$_.Name -match "HP Smart Array"} if ($hpsa) { $firmwareVersion = (($hpsa.Name -split "firmware")[1]).Trim() } else { Write-Verbose -Message ((Get-Date -Format G) + "tGet Extension data failed. Skip Firmware version check for: " + $pciDevice.DeviceName) $firmwareVersion = $null } #END if/else } else { Write-Verbose -Message ((Get-Date -Format G) + "tSkip Firmware version check for: " + $pciDevice.DeviceName) $firmwareVersion = $null
} #END if/else `

Add/Replace by : Write-Verbose -Message ((Get-Date -Format G) + "tGet Firmware version for: " + $pciDevice.VMKernelName) $vmbhaDetail = $esxcli.storage.san.fc.list.invoke() | where {$_.Adapter -match $($pciDevice.VMKernelName)} $firmwareVersion = $vmbhaDetail.FirmwareVersion `

Thanks for pointing to the invoke() method here: $esxcli.storage.san.fc.list.invoke()

This seems to be needed due to esxcli -v2

I solved it like this now: $firmwareVersion = ($esxcli.storage.san.fc.list.invoke() | Where {$_.Adapter -eq $pciDevice.VMkernelName}).FirmwareVersion

Hey @edmsanchez take a look. I'd like to run this on powercli 11 first to check, but i've seen some failures on our current code, so this may help :)

It didn't work.

Hello, for me the adding from SupraOva is working fine, I needed to collect the HBA Firmware from different models, all Emulex and it worked so thanks.

What I did is just what was explained, comment the part related to the HBA Firmware and added the working part:

Write-Verbose -Message ((Get-Date -Format G) + "tGet Firmware version for: " + $pciDevice.VMKernelName) $vmbhaDetail = $esxcli.storage.san.fc.list.invoke() | where {$.Adapter -match $($pciDevice.VMKernelName)} $firmwareVersion = ($esxcli.storage.san.fc.list.invoke() | Where {$.Adapter -eq $pciDevice.VMkernelName}).FirmwareVersion
