Find firmware version on Power8 RHEL server

Issue:

I have a Power8 server at work that I need to find out the current firmware version installed. The ipmitool does not work for some unknow reason.

Solution:

There are two solutions here:

The last few lines of the following command has the firmware level listed:

[root@hdpss kurtis]# lsvpd | tail -n 6
*FC 
*DS System Firmware
*AX firmware
*ML FW860.42 FW860.42 FW860.42
*CL OPAL skiboot-5.4.8-d2bbccd
*MI SV860_138 SV860_138 SV860_138

Here is a more simpler command:

[root@hdpss kurtis]# lsmcode
Version of System Firmware is FW860.42 (SV860_138) (t) FW860.42 (SV860_138) (p) FW860.42 (SV860_138) (b)
