Managing firmware consistency
The Firmware Consistency area indicates whether the versions of the cluster nodes firmware are the same.
To view the firmware consistency report, click VIEW DETAILS.
It is recommended that all cluster nodes use the firmware of the same version in the same hardware component controllers.
Firmware Consistency Report displays the BMC, UEFI, HBA, and Storage NIC firmware versions, which are the consistency indicators for Hyper-Converged Cluster. The BMC and UEFI firmware versions are the consistency indicators for Failover Cluster. If BMC, UEFI, HBA and Storage NIC are not configured in the target cluster nodes, or the firmware versions are N/A or not available, the firmware versions are not consistent across cluster nodes.
For each hardware component controller, the default baseline firmware version is the one that counts the most. Users could select either as a baseline.
To update firmware for cluster nodes, refer to Updating firmware/drivers for cluster nodes.
