WMI almost always relies on the 3rd-party vendor to provide the &quot;WMI Provider&quot; for specialized equipment like an HBA controllers.<br />
I didn't see anything on the the Emulex web site, so you might have to call 'em.<br />

I need a way to use WMI or any other portable programming language to get the HBA FIRMWARE version. <br />
<br />
Using HBAnywhere is helpful, but i need to be able to script this and run it across multiple servers. <br />
<br />
Any WMI or vb suggestions?

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Scripting Languages

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
