VMware ESXi 5.0 and upgrade HP Virtual Connect FW ..

Hi,

 

we have following environment :

 

2 x HP BladeEnclousure c7000 with 6 x HP Proliant BL620c G7 and connection to SAN / LAN is with HP VC FlexFabric 10Gb/24-Port Module ..

ESXi version is VMware ESXi 5.0.0, 1117897 ..

 

I would like to upgrade Virtual Connect Firmware from version 3.18 to version 3.60 ..

 

Driver version and adapter firmware on ESX is following :

 

~ # ethtool -i vmnic0

driver: be2net

version: 4.0.88.0

firmware-version: 4.2.401.6

bus-info: 0000:04:00.0

 

~ # esxcfg-scsidevs -a

~ # vmkload_mod -s HBADriver |grep Version

~ # vmkload_mod -s lpfc820 |grep Version

Version: Version 0:8.2.2.1-18vmw, Build: 914586, Interface: 9.2 Built on: Nov 18 2012

 

I would like to ask you, If I need to upgrade be2net driver and driver for HBA .. Or upgrade Virtual connec won't have any impact to ESX environment ..

 

Thanks

 

Jozef
