The following script allows the user to retrieve a listing of Network (ENIC) & Storage (FNIC) firmware drivers installed on Cisco UCS blades at a per vSphere cluster level. You may download the ‘Cisco_FNIC_ENIC.ps1‘ script here: Cisco_FNIC_ENIC.ps1 (Remove the .doc extension).

The script will begin by prompting you to enter the vCenter IP Address, username and password. A list of all the available clusters residing in vCenter will be returned. Followed by a prompt to enter the vSphere cluster name, from the cluster defined the script will retrieve a per ESXi listing of ENIC&FNIC firmware levels. The script will firstly prompt the user to enable SSH on all the hosts in the cluster:

UCS_FNIC_ENIC1

UCS_FNIC_ENIC2

 

Once you have completed the tasks on the hosts that required SSH Access, you may then return to the running script and type option ‘y’ in order to again disable SSH on all the hosts in the specified cluster:

UCS_FNIC_ENIC3

  1. ESXi 6.5 uses the nenic driver. You can replace the line:

    $esxcli.software.vib.list() | Where { $_.Name -like “net-enic”} | Select @{N=”VMHost”;E={$ESXCLI.VMHost}}, Name, Version

    with:

    $esxcli.software.vib.list() | Where { $_.Name -like “nenic”} | Select @{N=”VMHost”;E={$ESXCLI.VMHost}}, Name, Version
