Helpful Hints:
| If using DSCLI, you can obtain the CLI and LMC information. Use the following DSCLI command: |
|
|
Command
|
|
|
ver
|
The ver command displays the versions of the command-line interface, Storage Manager, and licensed machine code |
|
Parameters
|
-s (Optional) The -s parameter displays the version of the command line interface program. You cannot use the -s and -l parameters together. -l (Optional) The -l parameter displays the versions of the command line interface, Storage Manager, and licensed machine code. You cannot use the -l and -s parameters together. -cli (Optional) Displays the version of the command line interface program. Version numbers are in the format version.release.modification.fixlevel. -stgmgr (Optional) Displays the version of the Storage Manager. Note: This is not the GUI (Storage Manager GUI). This id is related to HMC (Hardware Master Console code bundle information.) This has no value for users. -lmc (Optional) Displays the version of the licensed machine code (LMC). |
