C7000 - Adding G9 blades to G7s already in enclosure
Hi. I am new in this blade system management. I hope you can help.
We already have G7's in the existing enclosure and wanted to add G9's. Is there any pre-requisiste that we need to do like enclosure firmware upgrade or virtual connect firmware upgrade before we can use the G9?
Thanks.

Re: C7000 - Adding G9 blades to G7s already in enclosure
You are very wise to ask about compatibility. Updating firmware is a constant requirement for enclosure chassis, the blades, the interconnects, etc. Here is a document that covers the topic:

Essentially, once everything is compatible you can safely assume that something will have to be changed when adding a new component.
