Determining the Current Version of Your

3ware Driver

You can view controller and driver information in several different ways:

•

Using 3DM 2 you can see both the driver and firmware versions (see the
“Controller Summary page” on page 213)

•

Using 3BM you can see the firmware version (see “Displaying
Information About the Controller and Related Devices” on page 68)

•

Using the CLI you can see both the driver and firmware versions (see
3ware SAS/SATA RAID Controller CLI Guide)

•

Under Linux, you can type the following command if you have a 2.4
kernel or earlier:

cat /proc/modules/scsi/3w-9xxx/*

where the asterisk (*) represents controller number and “9xxx” represents
the type of the controller.

If you have a 2.6 kernels with sysfs, type the following command:

cat /sys/class/scsi_host/<hostid>/stats

where <hostid> is usually host0, unless other SCSI devices are available,
in which case it may be host1 or higher.
