I’d love to hear what you are trying to achieve and how you eventually do it – always on the lookout to learn new things! You may also want to look at the HP OneView product ( ) as this does include some automation for 3PAR tasks. If you are familiar with utilising REST API interfaces then start there otherwise it might be better utilising a scripting language and SSH. If this doesn’t cover what you need then my next suggestion would be to go with what you know. Please note that this command can only be used to schedule the following: I’d suggest you take a look at the createsched command within the CLI, this is great at allowing you to schedule tasks without needing to write a script to initiate an SSH session first from another system.

This is a great question and gives me a good idea for a post in the future! If you happen to be running a copy of the 3PAR StoreServ Management Console you can also view this information – We can also view this information in the 3PAR management console GUI.įirst open the console and select the Systems option and click the 3PAR array you wish to check, then select the Software tab. The -a and -b options will provide us with a complete listing including all details as below – 3PAR01 cli% showversion -a -bĪs you can see a great wealth of information is returned. Show release version number only (useful for scripting). Use this command to determine if the storage system is using the The showversion command displays information about the storage server Showversion – Show server software version information. Let us look at the available options by using the help command 3PAR01 cli% help showversion Should you require a complete breakdown of the software versions across the array you can add some additional switches to the showversion command. This will give you a summary view which is fairly high level and usually sufficient. CLIĬonnect to the array with your SSH client of choiceĮnter the command showversion 3PAR01 cli% showversion If you wish to know what version of software/firmware is running on your 3PAR array you have a couple of options.
