View IOS Version as normal User

On a virtual I/O server, the IOS version can be displayed as user padmin using the ioslevel command:

padmin> ioslevel
3.1.2.10
padmin>

As user root (after using oem_setup_env), the IOS version can be shown as follows:

# /usr/ios/cli/ioscli ioslevel
3.1.2.10
#

However, both commands do not work as a normal, non-privileged user:

$ ioslevel
ksh: ioslevel: not found.
$ /usr/ios/cli/ioscli ioslevel
Access to run command is not valid.

$

The IOS version is simply stored in a text file and can be easily displayed as a normal user with the cat command:

$ cat /usr/ios/cli/ios.level
3.1.2.10
$
