| grep fcs on the AIX CLI:
# lsdev | grep fcs
fcs0 Available 04-00 8Gb PCI Express Dual Port FC Adapter (df1000f114108a03)
fcs1 Available 04-01 8Gb PCI Express Dual Port FC Adapter (df1000f114108a03)
fcs2 Available 05-00 4Gb FC PCI Express Adapter (df1000fe)
fcs3 Available 05-01 4Gb FC PCI Express Adapter (df1000fe)
• To display the HBA type, type lscfg -vps -l fcs0 | grep -i <customer card>

The following example is for AIX 6.1 and later:
# lscfg -vps -l fcs0 |grep -i "customer card"
Customer Card ID Number.....577D
577D is the IBM HBA model number.
• To display the HBA FRU number, type lscfg -vps -l fcs0 | grep -i "fru" on the
AIX CLI.
# lscfg -vps -l fcs0 | grep -i “fru”
FRU Number..................10N9824
10N9824 is the FRU number.
• To display the Firmware levels for each installed IBM FC HBA, type lscfg -vps -l fcs0
| grep Z9 on the AIX CLI:
# lscfg -vps -l fcs0 | grep Z9
Device Specific.(Z9)........US1.10X5
US1.10X5 is the current HBA firmware.
