HPE SimpliVity Upgrade Planner

SM17 — Thu, 15 May 2025 04:06:01 GMT

Hi,

Our customer is currently running Omnistack 4.1.3.5 and have asked us to upgrade to the latest 5.3.1.8

Your HPE SimpliVity Upgrade Planner doesnt allow any upgrade path from 4.1 to 5.3.1.8, why?

What is the accepted upgrade path from 4.1.3.5 > will there be multiple hops?

Versions

8 Nodes
• Omnistack 4.1.3.5
• vCentre 7.0 U3n – 21958406
• ESXi 7.0 U3m – 21686933
• SVTSP-2023_0803.01

Hi SM17

I request you to have a look at HPE SimpliVity Interoperability Guide 5.3.1 using the below link

Link: https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00117319en_us

This document provides you with detailed information about interoperability details for VMware vSphere and other major external products. It covers HPE SimpliVity releases beginning at HPE SimpliVity v4.1.0U1.

You may contact HPE SimpliVity Technical Support for further information regarding the OS upgrade path.

Hope this helps.!!

Regards
Mahesh.

We already have a copy of the HPE SimpliVity Interopability Guide and apart from the "Important Considerations for SVTSP" recomending two firmware hops; to SVTSP-2023_1130.02.iso then to SVTSPGen10-2025_0131.03.iso, there is nothing mentioned in that document stating if there are going to be any issues going from Omnistack 4.1.3.5 to 5.3.1 ?

We do have another customer that we keep up to date however this new customer is far behind and we need some professional guidance from HPE rather than giving us the obvious guidance that doesnt fulfil our questions.

Could you either answer our question or fix the Upgrade Planner tool?

Thanks for updating the Planner.

I'm unable to pass the ESXi Selection for ESXi 7.0 U3m to ESXi 7.0 U3s - The planner shows no upgrade path for these versions, only previous versions.
