Hi,
I need to upgrade our HP Blade stack and I just wanted to confirm is it still best practice to upgrade the chassis OA's first, the ILO's of each blade, then VC, then the firmware of each blade then finally do the esxi upgrade from 6.0 to 6.5? (These are BL460c G8 so unfortunately 6.5 is the highest I can go to.)
So order would be :
C7000 OA
Blade ILOs
Virtual Connect
Blade FW
ESX 6.0 to 6.5
ESX Drivers?
Cheers,
PB.

I would always perform an update starting with the "lowest" component. So start with your hardware (Enclosure, iLO, Blade etc.) and then your ESXi software.
Hi,
Yes, it's the best thing. when the hardware is updated, proceed with vsphere.
