Upgrade 3par os from version 3.3.1 to 3.3.2

Post by pazzoide76 »

HI,
I have a 3par8200 with the following firmware:
3PAR: 3.3.1.410 (MU2)+P32,P40,P45,P51,P52,P60,P76,P90,P96,P111,P113
Crtical patches P142, P157, P165
and the vsp version 5.1.1.0-29341
I would like to upgrade to 3.3.2 as I want to install vsphere 8.0.
How many steps do I have to take?
What are the patches and firmwares that I have to install?
What is the latest patch/build of 3par os 3.3.2?
Where do I download patches and firmwares?

Thank you

Greetings
MammaGutt

HPE My enterprise licensing portal. Usually the SP will auto-download this for you.

The order that the HPE 3PAR OS and Service Processor Upgrade Matrix gives me is as follows:
Upgrade to sp 5.1.0 I skip this step because I already have 5.1.1.0
Apply lastest U kit
Upgrade to 3.3.2 GA
Apply latest U Kit
Upgrade to 3.3.2 MU1

Once the 3.3.2 MU1 version is installed, can I directly install the MU1 P08 patch?

P08 does not seem to superseede P04 so I think you need both.

When I install the patches do I have to apply the latest U kit?

U Kit = Upgrade kit.

Just ensure you have latest installed when you start patching/upgrading. It will ensure that you’re not missing any required patches.
