Hi PohLeng!

Hi Kipp,
The zip file that can be downloaded consists of the tiny version of the img file, do you know where I can download the full version?

Hi Kipp,
The img file that is available in the downloaded zip file is of tiny version, which is about 1gb. Do you know where I can download the full version which is of bigger size?

Cheers,
PohLeng

[Kipp_Glover]

Hi PohLeng!

We do not publish the full image.  The tiny image is all that is available.  Why do you need the full image?   If you want feel free to send me a private message.

Hi Kipp,
I have managed to get a copy of the full image, thanks.

Just for you to know - if somebody is wondering like me about the change of the preferred order of installations for an update from 4.x.x to 4.2 (firmware should be deployed as the last part of the cycle):

--- advised customer to follow the procedure offered from the Upgrade planner, because of the following VMware Article: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/88856?lang=en_US which is:
update arbiter -> update vSphere plugin -> update VCSA -> update OVC -> update ESXi -> update HPE host firmware
--- if we have an ESXi Version that includes this mentioned bug, firmware update can cause APD.

This is also suggestet by the HPE Simplivity Update Planner.

Greetings to all of you
