Is There a Method to Obtain EEPROM Info from SFP+

UNIX AIX
1

Does AIX (or even the ASMI interface) provide a method to obtain basic data from a SFP+ (aka 10Gb transceiver) installed in a NIC card ?

In this case, the machine is remote (to me), a Power8, with EN0S adapter (2 x 10GbE and 2 x 1Gb).

Specifically, just trying to determine basic things from the transceivers installed, such as:

  • serial number
  • firmware level
  • manufacturer
  • part number
  • any other basics worth knowing

My travels thru google & AIX Diagnostics has me thinking the answer is "no", but maybe someone here knows otherwise. Thx.

lscfg -vl entX ?

Been there :slight_smile:

lscfg -vl entX

does provide lots of good info about the card itself, but nothing (that I can tell) that looks like info from the SFP+ itself. Thx anyway.

Closest thing I've come up with is..... had the local guy pull the SFP+, pull out his phone & take a pic of it.... & send that to me. Still doesn't tell me firmware level, etc. OR tell me which SFP+ is currently swapped in (during troubleshooting the SFP+(s) have been swapped around multiple times). Oh well....
