HponConf - command /sbin/hponcfg -g

Get the iLO firmware revision from the hponcfg command. This is a 3rd party utility from HP and isn’t shipped with RHEL. However, it’s useful for detecting possible hardware incompatibilities.

There are only five pieces of information extracted:

  • firmware_revision - the Firmware Revision value

  • device_type - the Device type value

  • driver_name - the Driver name value

  • server_name - the Server Name value

  • server_number - the Server Number value

Values are ‘’ if not listed in the output.

Input looks like this:
