Hi. @beveritt 

Thank you. I have built CCHN for my client with this document.
I am trying to upgrade to AOS 6.10, but the version UCSM 4.3.4a in HCL is Deferred Release.

The server supports 4.3.4a, but I am having trouble choosing the firmware.

Is there any other guide?

Nutanix error:

(Firmware Package with version 4.3(4a)C is not available or valid for this setup)

Really should read:

Firmware Package version 4.3(4a)C is not found. Please download 4.3.4a.C.bin from cisco.com and upload to UCSM.

Direct download link:

https://software.cisco.com/download/home/283862063/type/283655681/release/4.3(4a)

Nutanix hard coded server firmware (c-bundle) 4.3(4a) before Cisco deferred (infra bundle) of 4.3(4a).

Use 4.3(4e) A.bin and upload 4.3(4a) C.bin.
