HPE Smart Array P204i-b SR gen10

Ilbis Insfran — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 04:57:11 GMT

Hello. I have a BL460c Gen10 server with a P204i-b SR Gen10 smart array running VMware 7.0. I need to install driver 70.4600.0.115, but I can't find any information on the recommended firmware for this driver. In the HPE Support Center, I see that the latest firmware version supported by the P204i-b smart array is 4.11. This smart array model no longer appears as supported in higher versions. Could you help me by sharing some information on this?
