Recommended Upgrade Method
For both combined upgrade and split upgrade, Cisco recommends upgrading the HyperFlex components in the following order for optimizing the upgrade time:
Note |
Make sure to upgrade the vCenter to the desired version based on the ESXi version and recommendation from VMware before upgrading ESXi. |
Note |
As part of the Server Firmware upgrade operation initiated from HX Connect, some of the UCS policies may be updated to be compatible with the new HXDP version. These changes are applied only to the nodes that are part of the cluster being upgraded. It is highly recommended to use HX Connect to initiate the Server Firmware upgrade to avoid any policy drift. |
