| ViPR Controller: REQUIRED Upgrade to ViPR Controller 3.6.2 and Solutions Enabler 9.0 for VMAX All Flash Array microcode 5978 (Elm) support. Affected products: ViPR Controller < 3.6.2.0 VMAX All Flash Array models 250F/450F/850F/950F with microcode version 5978 In a VMAX All Flash Array environment (models VMAX 250F/450F/850F/950F), existing storage group Service Level Objective ‘Diamond’ with any workload (OLTP/OLTP_REP/DSS/DSS_REP) prior to an upgrade to microcode 5978 will automatically be converted to Service Level ‘Diamond’ (without any workload) after an upgrade to microcode 5978. |
ViPR Controller pre-3.6.2 versions do not currently support VMAX All Flash Array models 250F/450F/850F/950F with microcode 5978 and its prerequisite Solutions Enabler (SE) version 9.0 as detailed in the "EMC ViPR Controller 3.6.1 Support Matrix". Always consult the latest support matrix to verify current version support. |

ViPR Controller REQUIRES an upgrade to 3.6.2 as well as Solutions Enabler 9.0 (per support matrix) to avoid the issue with VMAX All Flash Array microcode upgrades to 5978. Please refer to the "EMC ViPR Controller Version 3.6 Service Pack 2 Release Notes" for details on the required upgrade sequence for ViPR Controller, Solution Enabler, and microcode upgrades |
