Reading PROM Version

2007-12-25 10:32:00

Thanks to one and all who responded (too many to list).

Original Question:

>I need to read the PROM version on some of our production systems that are

>running Solaris 2.4.

>I am preparing our systems for year 2000 and there are PROM upgrades

>necessary for compatibility. I want to read the PROM version without

>shutting the system down. The systems are Sparc Server 1000 and 2000.

The winner is:

sysinfo

I had to load patch 102555-01 on my 2.4 systems then build sysinfo version

3.4 that I downloaded from http://www.magnicomp.com.

Other suggestions:

prtconf -V

This works on Solaris 2.5.1 and 2.6.

.version

I couldn't halt the systems as they are in 24 hour production mode.

prtdiag -v

I may be mistaken, but I didn't see the Prom version in the output.
