Verifying ECA Hardware Versions Using the show controllers cbus Command
This section provide an alternative method for verifying your ECA’s hardware version.
Note If you have Cisco IOS software and CIP2 microcode images loaded and running that support
the latest ECA (see Table 2 and the section “ESCON Channel Adapter Software, Hardware, and
Microcode Prerequisites”), then you can also verify which ECA model you have installed by using
the show controllers cbus command to view the ECA’s hardware version.
Refer to the arrow in the following partial-display example of the show controllers cbus command;
the latest ECA model is indicated by hw version 02:
