Upgrade Path

[fr.mueller]

Hello,

i have a question about how to upgrade to a newer Version of UCS in conjunction to vmware.

1. Update the vmware driver for enic and fnic to the supported version for the newer UCS Firmware

2. Update the FI and then the Servers

OR

1. Update the FI and then the Servers

2. Update the driver for enic and fnic for vmware

Thanks

As long as you complete the upgrade for both the UCS and vmware it doesn't matter which path you take. For this scenario there is not a prefer path.

Hi Frank

If you do autoinstall, then first do "autoinstall infrastructure" then do "autoinstall server"

Important, if you do manual install: always first update UCS Manager !

Hello Manuel,

thanks for sharing. What is the latest recommended UCS Version for VMware? 

I wan´t to upgrade from 2.2.2(c) to 2.2.3(e).

Are there any known issues that i am not aware of?

Thanks
