Storage controller vendors provide a software management tool that vSAN can use to update controller drivers and firmware. If the management tool is not present on ESXi hosts, you can download the tool.
The Updates page only supports specific storage controller models from selected vendors.
Prerequisites
- Verify hardware compatibility on the Configuration Assist page.
- DRS must be enabled if you must keep VMs running during the software updates.
Procedure
What to do next
When the management tool is installed, you can proceed to update the controller drivers and firmware that appear on the Update page.
