Display HP P4000 SAN/iQ version, installed patches and up-time

During a health check I needed to know the SAN/iQ version, installed patches and the up-time of the HP P4000 storage nodes because of a nasty bug in SAN/iQ 9.0 or 9.0.01 that hang or reboot nodes after 208.5 days.

To see the SAN/iQ version, installed patches and the up-time (thanks to Calvin Zito @HPStorageGuy for guiding me to the up-time counter in CMC)

Here are the steps:

  1. Open the Centralized Management Console (CMC)
  2. Login
  3. Expand the cluster
  4. Expand the Storage Systems
  5. Select Diagnostics for the first node (1)
  6. Select “Hardware information” (2)
  7. Select “Click to refresh” (3)

  1. Scroll down to the Stat section and look at the Machine Uptime. The up-time is in hours, 2138/24= 89 days up-time for one node.

  1. Repeat step 5 till 9 for all storage nodes
