Dell PowerStore X model Software Upgrade Guide

PDF

Upgrading the ESXi version on internal PowerStore X model hosts (2.x and later)

Upgrade the VMware ESXi version of the internal hosts between PowerStoreOS software upgrades using VMware Lifecycle Manager (LCM).

About this task

When new ESXi versions are released by VMware, Dell qualifies those versions with PowerStore X model systems. Once qualified, these upgrade bundles can be found on the Drivers & Downloads page for your PowerStore X model on Dell Support.

For instructions on upgrading the ESXi hosts as part of a PowerStoreOS upgrade, see Update the PowerStore internal ESXi hosts (PowerStoreOS 2.0.x and later).

Steps

  1. Refer to the PowerStore Simple Support Matrix for the latest ESXi version compatibility information, including the ESXi versions included in each PowerStoreOS bundle for PowerStore X model systems.
  2. Download the latest Dell-qualified VMware ESXi version bundle from the Drivers & Downloads page for your PowerStore X model model on Dell Support, from the VMware website, or use the version automatically downloaded to LCM.
  3. Follow the VMware documentation for detailed instructions on upgrading your ESXi version using LCM.
