This section contains instructions for how to perform tasks that help you
maintain your controller, including:
•

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 187)
•
Using 3BM you can see the firmware version (see “Displaying Controller
Information” on page 65)
•
Using the CLI you can see both the driver and firmware versions (see
3ware Serial ATA 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.
