Firmware Upgrade | G7 Servers

Hello,

Need info on upgrade versions available for following infrastructure -

ESX Version installed on them. Esxi 5.0.0 191865

Current OA FW Version 3.32 Aug 24 201

Current VC FW Version  3.18

 

Please verify if my understanding is correct - 

VC version available for G7 servers is max 4.45 ?

Re: Firmware Upgrade | G7 Servers

All depends on the VC ethernet and FC modules you are using.


Hope this helps!

Get SPP2016.04, run it on a local PC and discover the blade enclosure.

Update OA, VC, and the blade firmware and drivers.

Deselect the network firmware, because I remember there are no network drivers for this old ESX version.


Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
