Recommended FI/Server Firmware - Obsolete Releases
The HX components—Cisco HX Data Platform Installer, Cisco HX Data Platform, and Cisco UCS firmware—are installed on different servers. Verify that each component on each server used with and within an HX Storage Cluster are compatible.
-
HyperFlex does not support UCS Manager and UCS Server Firmware versions 4.0(4a), 4.0(4b), and 4.0(4c).
Important
Do not upgrade to these versions of firmware.
Do not upgrade to these versions of UCS Manager.
-
Verify that the preconfigured HX servers have the same version of Cisco UCS server firmware installed. If the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects (FI) firmware versions are different, see the Cisco HyperFlex Systems Upgrade Guide for steps to align the firmware versions.
-
M4: For NEW hybrid or All Flash (Cisco HyperFlex HX240c M4 or HX220c M4) deployments, verify that Cisco UCS Manager 3.1(3k), 3.2(3i), or 4.0(2b) or higher is installed. For more information, see Recommended Cisco HyperFlex HX Data Platform Software Releases.
-
M5: For NEW hybrid or All Flash (Cisco HyperFlex HX240c M5 or HX220c M5) deployments, verify that the recommended UCS firmware version is installed.
Note
For SED-based HyperFlex systems, ensure that the A (Infrastructure), B (Blade server) and C (Rack server) bundles are at Cisco UCS Manager version 4.0(2b) or later for all SED M4/M5 systems. For more details, see CSCvh04307.
For SED-based HyperFlex systems, also ensure that all clusters are at HyperFlex Release 3.5(2b) or later. For more information, see Field Notice (70234) and CSCvk17250.
-
To reinstall an HX server, download supported and compatible versions of the software. See the Cisco HyperFlex Systems Installation Guide for VMware ESXi for the requirements and steps.
