  • 1.  Upgrading HBA firmware on ESXi hosts

    Posted Apr 15, 2015 02:28 PM

    We are looking at upgrading our firmware to the latest version on our Emulux HBAs on our ESXi server, has anyone done this?

    HBA - Emulex / LPE12000

    ESXi - 5.5 update 1c

    What is the best process in doing this? could you provide step by step instructions.

    Thanks Mustafa, I will give this a go and let you know how I get on.

    Looks like I will need to install 'On Command' to do this.
