Firepower: using CL, how to verify SSD installation, verify license?

[jmaxwellUSAF]

Hello.

My task is to assess the status of Firepower technology on the existing ASAs. I can only use the CLI, not the ASDM.

May you please answer below questions?...

1. On an ASA 5525, using the CLI, how do I remotely verify if the SSD drive is physically installed?

2. Following document explains the Firepower license details: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/640/asa-fp-services/asafps-local-mgmt-config-guide-v64/licensing_the_asa_firepower_module.html

The above link, and also a Google search does not provide the CLI instruction.
Using only the CLI, how can I discover if I have a valid Firepower license?

Thank you.

1. "show inventory" will list the chassis details including SSD (if any).

2. This is not possible. Where a Firepower service module is installed, you can see if it is configured for local or FMC-based managed via "show module sfr details". The configured management type will be indicated there - the abbreviation "DC" (Defense Centre - old name for FMC) may be observed. With that information, you can have the individuals with access to the respective GUI (ASDM or FMC) check those for verification of licenses.
