Applying SPP updates.

[Dave_Thacker]

When I'm applying my SPP updates, do I need to update each release, or will the latest release include all needed changes?

There is no requirement to install one SPP before another.  The latest always rolls forward everything prior.  However, sometimes there are different branches of versions or different certification for vSAN, so read the support center pages or notifications carefully.

The only time there is a required sequence of SPP is when upgrading from an extremely old recipe of OneView, infrastructure, and SPP firmware and driver to the current.  Those can be done more quickly in offline mode.  However, if the workload must remain operational throughout, a more complex process would be requierd to ensure you're stepping from something very old through only the online supported paths to the latest.
