How to determine current running Microcode Level

EMC recently put out a doc that gave the target levels of Enginuity. Specifically, for 5771 Code, they target 5771.100.108. For 5671 the target is 5671.65.69. I understand how to find the microcode level in ControlCenter, however, ECC only displays the second octet. ie. our ECC shows we are at 5671.65 (Date 2007-07-16) and 5771.100 (Date 2007-08-01). What is the symcli command to determine more verbose information for the microcode level? I have tried symcli -v list however I still see the same info.

I know for a fact we are running 5771.100.108 on our Symm becaue I watched our CE download it from EMC's FTP site and observed the install.

    I found a primus that works.

    symconfigure -v -sid ### list

    One command that displays the patch level is the following:
    symcfg -sid ### list -ca all -v

    It displays the patch level, but again, only for the first and second octet (ie. 5771.100). I walked up to our Service Processor and symmwin is showing 5771.100.108.

    If you don't see Microcode listed under properties, check "Action", "Hide/Show Columns" in the "Properties" display to make sure this table value is selected to display.

    AFAIK the second "octet" and the "third" octet are always bound .. if you have 5671.100 that could only mean 5671.100.108 .. No 100.107 or 100.109 will ever exist ;-)

    If you need to reach 5671.100.108 and symcli tells you that you are at 5671.100 then you are OK :-)

    What symcli can not tell you is the list of hot-fixes applied to the code .. But we are not talking about fixes right now :D
