I am trying to determine the microcode level and Y2K readiness of a 7248
Model 43P-100?
Does anybody know how to determine this? I think that the only way to
check the microcode level on this machine is through SMS, can somebody
confirm before I take the machine down and reboot into SMS?
TIA

Not sure on this model 43P. but on an F50 doing an "lsattr -El sys0" will
give you a list of which one of the lines is like this:
---------------------------------
fwversion IBM,L99253 Firmware version and revision levels
---------------------------------
Which is quite obvious on the firmware revision.
I tried the same on a 43P (not sure which model exactly) running 4.2.1 but
it gave me something like this:
---------------------------------
fwversion 0,1 Firmware version and revision levels
---------------------------------
Which is obviously not correct.
Not sure if there maybe another database which lsattr would be able to find
the info on such machines.
Hope this leads you into the right direction.

I'm not really familiar with that 43P, but I would guess that at least
the output of :-
lsattr -El sys0 -a fwversion
might map onto the microcode level for the machine.

BTW don't forget that firmware and microcode are from what I understand,
two different things.

to test your microcode level and Y2K readiness :
Aix 41.x :
lscfg -vf |grep VIC
Aix 4.2.x and 4.3.x
lscfg -pv|grep VIC
VIC number prior to 96108 is NOT Y2K ready.
download a later version according to your RS server at www.rs6000.ibm.com
..
Good luck ;-)

1. Linux and RS6000 43P-100 7248:
Hello,
Is there a Linux distribution that will run on a 7248 Model 43P-100
PowerPC?
I found Yellow Dog. They state on their site specifically 43P-150.
A small pointer in the right direction will do, please.
