Confirm the Minimum Requirements

Language:

Before configuring the selected boot method, you must determine if the minimum requirements for your ESXi version are fulfilled.

Note - During this process, you use the Oracle Fabric Interconnect to upgrade HCA firmware and option ROM on the ESXi host. Therefore, the host must be configured to communicate with the Oracle Fabric Interconnect.

Use the following command to determine the version of your XgOS operating system:

admin@OVN[xsigo] show system version
Build 4.0.3-XGOS  - (buildsys) Fri Jan 23
11:38:14 PST 2015admin@kashmir[xsigo]

If necessary, upgrade the XgOS operating system.
For instructions to upgrade the operating system, refer to the XgOS User's Guide.
