Updating the HBA driver and firmware

If the FC host bus adapters (HBAs) in the Windows host are not running supported driver and firmware versions, you must update them.

Before you begin

You must have identified the supported driver and firmware versions for your configuration from the Lenovo Storage Interoperation Center (LSIC).

Lenovo Storage Interoperation Center (LSIC): Go to the LSIC Web site to select the known components of your configuration and then get a list of all other supported combinations, with details about supported hardware, firmware, operating systems, drives, and notes.

View results on screen or export them in Excel format.
