If you already have a 3ware controller installed, you can check the
current driver version.
If you have a 2.4 kernel or earlier
, type the following command:
cat /proc/scsi/3w-9xxx/*
where the asterisk (*) represents SCSI host ID and “9xxx”
represents the family of the controller. For example:
cat /proc/scsi/3w-9xxx/0
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.
If you have a 2.6 kernel without sysfs
, type the following
command:
dmesg
| grep 3w
(dmesg can also be used with earlier kernel versions.)
