Oneview for vCenter: from Basline to VLCM

[pirx]

Yes, uninstall it manually with esxcli and reboot the host. I'd also blacklist the 900-package in every baseline.

Thank you.
So I did. Manually deinstalled that vib.
Then the upgrade of the ESXis was possible.
What a mess ...

is there any update(s) for vLCM integration with HPE Oneview for firmware and driver upgrade with ESXi host updates/upgrade? I was told that HSM is going away so I want to know the preferred method with the integration . thank you.!

OneView + OneView 4 vCenter (OV4VC). If you do not have a OV license you can add servers in monitor mode. Make sure to start with current OV4VC version 11.5 because before that vLCM integration was broken. Not sure if this is now completely fixed, but it wont be worse than with previouse versions..

Hello @Joseph10 ,

We are seeing a different versions of vendor addon and firmware & drivers add-on's.

One using Synergy version and other ProLiant version.

Is your issue reported because of that?

[Joseph10]

HPE has seen occurances where the SPP-2023.09.00.00.802 was not validating due to a “downgrade” of a Mellanox driver
I managed to resolve the issue after downlloading bp-Convenience-download-2023.09-00.04-65c600dc7dad21782be0081e.iso, then syncing the repo in vLCM

[RenjuCR]

Ok good to hear that your problem is resolved.

Image validation can fail due to mutiple reasons.

The previous issue mentioned in the thread was due to a differet reason.

It would be great if you can raise a support case and share the OV4VC logs for our assessment.

So the latest 2025 SPP and esxi 8.0.3 latest comes up with this on vLCM when validating:-

Invalid hardware support spec specified in the draft.

Failed to fetch component information for hardware support package Gen10 Service Pack for ProLiant in the depot

Manifest with Hardware Support Manager com.hpe.ov4vc.vlcmhsm and Hardware Support Package Gen10 Service Pack for ProLiant version SPP-2025.01.00.00.803 cannot be found in depot.

Great stuff as usual!

[T_1_6]

Same old crap with the latest SPP.

So neither of the two latest Gen10 SPPs work with vLCM any more.

We are giving up with this crap, moving all our stuff to the cloud. Bye HPE, you've lost another customer.
