I hope someone can help. I've searched VMWare and Google till my eyes are blurry and cannot find any KB articles that explain how to get the firmware version for the PERC controllers. The VMware KB1027206 titled "Determining Network/Storage firmware and driver version in ESXi/ESX 4.x, ESXi 5.x and ESXi 6.x", lists how to get everything EXCEPT the Firmware version of a SCSI Raid Controller.
The only way I found to find the firmware version is via OpenManage Server Administrator. Unfortunately not all of our hosts have OMSA installed. Worse, Installing OMSA requires a reboot and I don't have a maintenance window to shutdown hundreds of VM's so the host can be rebooted.
If OMSA can query ESXi and get the Raid Controller version, there must be some command line capable of displaying the Firmware version?
Anybody?
