Dell 2950 / PERC5 FW Upgrade

[Alexander Dupuy]

Apropos of firmware upgrades, is there any way to get the revisions of 
all the various firmware for PE 1950/2950 using command-line tools while 
running under Linux?

I know that I can get the BIOS revision from `syscfg --biosver` and the 
BMC firmware revision with `ipmitool -I open mc info | grep 
Firmware.Revision` and for the PERC 5/i & 6/i RAID controllers, I can 
get firmware revision with `MegaCli -AdpAllInfo -a0 | grep Build` so I 
can get the most critical firmware revisions.

I haven't seen any obvious way to get the SAS backplane firmware, or SAS 
5/i embedded SAS controller firmware revisions.  Is any of that logged 
in /var/log/messages by the corresponding drivers, or available in other 
ways?  This is under RHEL 5, if that matters at all.
