   ->

3. To view the ILOM version information, type:

   version

   SP firmware 2.0.2.16
   SP firmware build number: 42063
   SP firmware date: Mon Feb  9 22:45:34 PST 2009
   SP filesystem version: 0.1.16

4. To view the BIOS version, type:

   show /SYS/BIOS

   The command returns input similar to the following:

    /SYS/MB/BIOS
       Targets:
   
       Properties:
           type = BIOS
           fru_name = SYSTEM BIOS
           fru_description = SYSTEM BIOS
           fru_manufacturer = AMERICAN MEGATRENDS
           fru_version = 0ABMN052
           fru_part_number = AMIBIOS8
   
       Commands:
           cd
           show

   The fru_version field contains the BIOS version number.
