Vxrail code upgrade from 4.7.x to 7.0.3xx

Hi, I am planning to upgrade our vxrail cluster of 3 x e560 nodes from 4.7.526 to 7.0.320.

 

Can anyone tell me what the dependency on firmware upgrade is prior to performing a vxrail code upgrade?

 

Do we have any support matrix where it is clearly mentioned that from 4.7.526 to 7.0.320 requires an upgrade in Hops or can I upgrade without a firmware upgrade?

 

I have checked the support portal but I haven't found specific documents w.r.t dependency and prerequisite for upgrade.

I have one question: all the required hardware firmware is part of the Code Bundle (VXRAIL_COMPOSITE-7.0.320-xxx_for_4.7.x.zip)?

 

Normally yes, unless you are using special firmware or hardware, such as GPU or NSX VIB or DPDK firmware.

If so, where do I get those details of the firmware version from VxRail code 4.7.526 to 7.0.320?

You can see VxRail Support Matrix to check which version of software/firmware included in specific VxRail versions and what is included in vxrail upgrade or not.

Hello DELL-Sam L,

I appreciate your help, but I am still not getting the details. in terms of firmware upgrade

I have one question: all the required hardware firmware is part of the Code Bundle (VXRAIL_COMPOSITE-7.0.320-xxx_for_4.7.x.zip)?

Or do I need to perform a firmware upgrade separately?

If so, where do I get those details of the firmware version from VxRail code 4.7.526 to 7.0.320?

Thanks,

Pranav
