NOTE:
- Starting catalog version "24.03.25," the vSAN firmware catalog supports R840, MX750c and MX760c vSAN Ready Nodes in addition to the existing servers.
- Catalog version 24.02.08 replaces faulty catalog version 23.12.22 which is removed from the Dell downloads portal.
- Starting catalog version "23.04.14," the vSAN firmware catalog supports R660, R760, R7615, R6615, and R7625 vSAN Ready Nodes in addition to the existing servers.
- Starting catalog version "22.04.04," the vSAN firmware catalog supports R7515 and R6515 vSAN Ready Nodes in addition to the existing servers.
- Starting catalog version "21.10.29," the vSAN firmware catalog supports R750 and R650 vSAN Ready Nodes in addition to the existing servers.
- Starting catalog version 22.01.10, Dell started providing a firmware version report as well along with catalog payload and signature file. This helps the users to review the firmware versions in an HTML format without using any external utilities.
- Since ESXi 7.0 Update3, U3a and U3b releases were pulled down by VMware (see VMware KB 86398
), Dell continued to ship ESXi 7.0 Update 2 based customized versions from factory. Hence the revised versions of firmware catalogs are posted for 7.0U2 A06 and A07 as part of catalog version 22.01.10.
