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//stats

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