Note 

As of HX 5.0(1b), an upgrade status appears providing the result of the last upgrade along with the versions that were upgraded (source and target versions for each component selected in the upgrade). You can dismiss this status only if it is successful. If the last upgrade fails, you will need to fix the issue. This banner is a reminder to take action to correct the upgrade.

Upgrading UCS Firmware

After you have successfully upgraded the Cisco HX Data Platform, change the UCS host firmware policy accordingly with the recommended UCS firmware. For more information, see the HyperFlex release notes.
