How to upgrade P3600 SSD firmware in VMware ESXi

[SLiu60]

Dear All,

I had some P3600 NVME SSD which were installed in DELL R730XD server,and they are running VMware vSAN 6.2 on it. The default firmware version is DP01,and VMware suggest us to upgrade the firmware to DP04。

Anyone know how to do the NVME SSD firmware upgrade work in ESXi6.0 U2? In Intel Website, I also can not find the firmware package and download link of ESXi version .

Hi SnLiu,

Thanks for the update. Based on the information we found, it seems that the Firmware 8DV1DP01 is an OEM version and belongs to Dell*, reason why the Intel® SSD Data Center Tool does not detect any install package. The Firmware 8DV101H0 is for retail versions of the SSD. In this case, we suggest you contact Dell* in order to verify if there is a firmware available for the SSD. Regards, Junior M.
