lsmcode Command

Purpose

Displays microcode and firmware levels of the system and adapters and devices.

Syntax

Description

The lsmcode command when run without any flags, displays the platform system firmware microcode level and the service processor microcode levels, if supported. Not all systems contain a service processor, nor do all systems support displaying the system processor level. Information on a specific device is displayed with the -d flag.

If you run the lsmcode command with the -r or -c flag, it displays the microcode levels in a printf format; that is, not a menu. This method is preferred if running lsmcode from a script.

Flags

Item	Description
-A	Displays microcode level information for all supported devices. Using this flag assumes the -r flag.
-c	Displays the microcode/firmware levels without using menus.
-d Name	Displays microcode level information for the named device.
-r	Displays the microcode/firmware levels in a tabular format. The microcode level is preceded by a Type if supported or required. Current supported Types are as follows: system System Firmware service Service Processor adapter Adapter Functional microcode adapter-boot Adapter Boot Microcode raid-dasd DASD Microcode in a RAID array backplane Backplane Microcode in a RAID subsystem
-t	Specifies the microcode type. The microcode level information of the specified type is displayed. You can use the -t flag only when a device supports multiple types. You can use the -A flag to find any devices supporting multiple types.

Examples

To display the system firmware level and service processor (if present), type:
```
lsmcode -c
```
The system displays a message similar to the following:
```
System Firmware level is TCP99256
```
To display the system firmware level and service processor (if present) in raw mode, type:
```
lsmcode -r
```
The system displays a message similar to the following:
```
system:TCP99256
```

To display the adapter microcode levels for a RAID adapter scraid0, type:

lsmcode -r -d scraid0

The system displays a message similar to the following:

adapter:4.20.18|adapter-boot:4.00.26
raid-dasd:22:FFC #:DDYS-T0.524D3031.53393446
raid-dasd:26:FFC #:DDYS-T0.524D3031.53393446
raid-dasd:2e:FFC #:DDYS-T0.525A3034.53393243

To display the microcode level for a tape drive rmt0, type:
```
lsmcode -r -d rmt0
```
The system displays a message similar to the following:
```
C009
```

To display the microcode level for all supported devices, type:

lsmcode -A

The system displays a message similar to the following:

sys0!system:TCP99256
rmt0!C009
scraid0!adapter:4.20.18|adapter-boot:4.00.26
raid-dasd:22:FFC #:DDYS-T0.524D3031.53393446
raid-dasd:26:FFC #:DDYS-T0.524D3031.53393446
raid-dasd:2e:FFC #:DDYS-T0.525A3034.53393243
.....

To display the microcode level of the adapter microcode type for a RAID adapter scraid0, type:
```
lsmcode -rd scraid0 -t adapter
```
The system displays a message similar to the following:
```
adapter:4.50.01
```
