Verify the HCA Firmware Version (Windows 2012 R2)

You can check the HCA version information from the Oracle Fabric Interconnect.

1. Ensure that you have performed the necessary preliminary tasks.

   See, Confirm the OS Version.

2. On the Oracle Fabric Interconnect, display firmware information.

   show physical-server hostname hca

   where hostname is the name of the Windows host. For example:

   show physical-server kingston hca
   -----------------------------------------------------------------
   lid               7
   node-guid         0002c903000a9f7a
   board-id          MT_0A50120005
   device-id         26418
   firmware-version  2.7.0
   hardware-version  unknown
   option-version    2.8.7
   -----------------------------------------------------------------

3. Compare the versions displayed with the minimum requirements.

   Refer to the versions recorded when performing the preliminary tasks.

4. Record the LID, board-ID, device-ID, firmware-version, and option-version.
5. Consider your next step.

   • If you must install an HCA card, or exchange an HCA card for firmware upgrade, do that now.

   • If the firmware or option ROM must be upgraded, do that now.

   • If the firmware, hardware, and software prerequisites are met, remove the old host driver.
