Firmware catalog

Instructions Note: This vSAN firmware catalog is meant to be used only for specific server models. See "Server Models supported" section for specifics. This catalog is unsupported for VMware ESXi use cases or any other vSAN Ready Nodes that Dell offer. For VMware ESXi use cases other than vSAN, see knowledge base article 126599, Firmware catalog for Dell customized VMware ESXi images . Seek additional guidance from your aligned Dell account team if you need further details. Dell releases new and refreshed catalogs for VMware vSAN on a quarterly basis. Up to N-1 of the Dell customized VMware ESXi ISO image has refreshed vSAN catalogs on selected server models. What is a vSAN firmware catalog? A firmware catalog is an aggregation of all firmware bundles that are supported on multiple generations of Dell servers. A vSAN firmware catalog is designed to support Dell’s vSAN Ready Nodes based on PowerEdge R740xd, R740, R640, R840, R750, R650, R7515, R6515, MX750c, R660, R760, R6616, R7615, R7625, and MX760c servers.

The firmware catalog, when used along with Dell’s customized VMware ESXi ISO images, provides a "wanted state" for customers. The vSAN firmware catalog has the specific firmware versions for all supported vSAN components

When used with the corresponding Dell customized ESXi image. Together these two products provide a path to the wanted vSAN cluster state. See VMware vSphere Life-Cycle Manager (vLCM) and Dell integration whitepaper section "Configuring vSphere Wanted State for Dell PowerEdge VMware cluster using vLCM" to setup a wanted state. Though the example mentions the ESXi catalog, you may replace that with the vSAN catalog to create a vSAN wanted state. When you use the firmware catalog and the corresponding Dell customized ESXi ISO image, you achieve a wanted state from the driver firmware compatibility point of view. Below is a table which maps the recommended firmware catalog for Dell's VMware vSAN Ready nodes along with the corresponding customized ESXi images which contain the supported and certified HBA and NVMe drivers. This is a living document and gets modified as and when new catalogs are released. The Dell customized VMware ESXi images can be downloaded from the VMware download page . The driver versions that are integrated into Dell customized VMware ESXi images are documented in 8.x, 7.x and 6.x customization guides. See Dell support pages for 8.x, 7.x and 6.x for various documentations around Dell VMware ESXi versions. Starting May 2024, we have divided the payload content to multiple articles based on the ESXi branch. This page is going to be static and the below articles have the firmware payloads for individual ESXi based vSAN branches moving forward. For the vSAN catalog payloads supporting ESXi 6.x branch, refer PowerEdge: Firmware catalog for Dell's vSAN Ready Nodes based on ESXi 6.x branches. For the vSAN catalog payloads supporting ESXi 7.x branch, refer PowerEdge: Firmware catalog for Dell's vSAN Ready Nodes with ESXI 7.X branch Images. For the vSAN catalog payloads supporting ESXi 8.x branch, refer PowerEdge: Firmware catalog for Dell's vSAN Ready Nodes with ESXi 8.x branch Images.

Instructions Firmware for your system is available for downloading on Dell Support. To enter the Lifecycle Controller, press during boot, and ensure that a network connection is set up before you start the updates. To set up the Network, go to Settings from the main menu, and then select Network settings. This must be set to valid details for your network. Note: Any network settings in the Lifecycle Controller do not affect the normal Operating system once you have booted back to it. Note: All Enterprise Systems Management software is migrated to consume catalog files and Dell Update Packages from downloads.dell.com explicitly through https protocol. downloads.dell.com repository site is restricted to https protocols, and does not support ftp/http protocols for access. Dell Technologies recommends that users should begin leveraging the https protocol from the online repository at downloads.dell.com. Warning: FTP option is only used for any local FTP server that the updates would reside on. Updating PowerEdge Servers Via the LifeCycle Controller To update the firmware using Lifecycle Controller: Start the Lifecycle Controller by pressing F10> at system start. In the left pane, click Firmware Update. In the right pane, click Launch Firmware Update. Select any of these update repositories: Dell Website, Network Share (CIFS, NFS, or HTTP), or FTP Server, Local Drive (CD, DVD, or USB), and click Next. The Enter Access Details page is displayed. Warning: The device has to be formatted as FAT32 to be recognized by the LifeCycle Controller to use USB as a source.
