2 months ago Hello,
Sorry for the delay on answering this. SoftLayer_Hardware_Component::hasUpgradeableFirmware is the property you are looking for.
API response would look something like this:
slcli --format=json call-api SoftLayer_Hardware_Server getObject --id=3220256 --mask="mask[id,hostname,activeComponents[id,revision,componentRevision,hasUpgradeableFirmware]]"
{
"hostname": "fra02-ocp-virt",
"id": 3220256,
"activeComponents": [
{
"componentRevision": "TN05",
"hasUpgradeableFirmware": true,
"id": 19906770,
"revision": {
"firmwareVersionId": 110505,
"hardwareComponentId": 19906770,
"id": 13404668,
"revision": "TN05"
}
},
{
"componentRevision": null,
"hasUpgradeableFirmware": false,
"id": 13120803,
"revision": {
"firmwareVersionId": null,
"hardwareComponentId": 13120803,
"id": 5768905
}
},
{
"componentRevision": " 7.00",
"hasUpgradeableFirmware": true,
"id": 22811766,
"revision": {
"firmwareVersionId": 186238,
"hardwareComponentId": 22811766,
"id": 16507548,
"revision": " 7.00"
}
}
]
}Hope that helps.
Also, the component->hardwareComponentModel->firmwares relationship will show you which firmware versions are available for a given component.
Output would look something like this.

SoftLayer_Hardware_Server API serivce: SoftLayer_Hardware_Server is lack of bios/ipmi firmware update info.
Hi IBM Cloud, when a baremetal needs a critical firmware update on bios/ipmi, it only shows from UI page.
I’m developing an SL API service automation to confirm if a firmware has critical updates to do before sending power off commands and perform firmware updates.
I looked into
https://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Hardware_Server/
However, the service only contains firmwareUpdate functionalities without providing the current version/up-to-date version/firmware Update status info.
I also looked into SoftLayer_Hardware_Component_Firmware data type returned and found the create/build dates, isQualified, serverity info, version is not well recorded in terms of getting current/target version and lack of explanation on the document link.
Could you please let me know if there’s a way in softlayer API that can provide firmware update required info or how SoftLayer_Hardware_Component_Firmware data type attributes recorded?
Thanks
