[Pazzoide1976]

HI,
I have a 3par8200 with the following firmware:
3PAR: 3.3.1.410 (MU2)+P32,P40,P45,P51,P52,P60,P76,P90,P96,P111,P113
Crtical patches P142, P157, P165
and the vsp version 5.1.1.0-29341
I would like to upgrade to 3.3.2 as I want to install vsphere 8.0.
How many steps do I have to take?
What are the patches and firmwares that I have to install?
What is the latest patch/build of 3par os 3.3.2?
Where do I download patches and firmwares?

Thank you

Thank you

HI,
I read the guide and from what I understand you need to stage the Upgrade tool.
Once the staging is done, you need to stage the updates and then install them.
But what I can't find is what updates I need to download to install the latest version of 3par os 3.3.2.

Thank you

Hi Pazzolder1976,

The latest available version is 3.3.2 MU1. And there are two patches (P04 + P08) also need to be installed along with 3.3.2 MU1.
The latest update tool also included in the 3.3.2 MU1 package.

The current SP version is 5.1.1 and is above the minimum requirement for 3.3.2 and hence no update needed.  

It is not clear to me whether this still connected to HPE back-end. In that case, you might have seen a message like "an update is available". If not, you need to download the package and stage manually. (Kindly refer https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/a00040316en_us page 19 onwards)

How many steps do I have to take? >>> It is a direct upgrade from 3.3.1 MU5 to 3.3.2. However, when the latest update tool is loaded and when the upgrade process starts, it will check for any missing prerequisite and warn about any missing patches (or configuration issues) 

Where do I download patches and firmware?  >>> Please refer https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/a00040316en_us page 6.
