On Friday 31st May 2019, IBM released firmware version 2.2.6.0 for PureApplication System, PureApplication Platform and PureApplication Software. Among many enhancements, this firmware version also comes with new patterns to deploy, which are:
- IBM Cloud Automation Manager V3.1.2.0
- Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform pattern v1.0.0.0
One of the biggest changes bought by PureApplication System and PureApplication Platform on Intel is the support of VMWare vCenter and ESXi v6.5.
You can find more details on the firmware release here, including a list of included APARs.
This firmware version comes with a full refresh of the hardware firmware for PureApplication System and PureApplication Platform clients. For example, clients using a W3550 PureApplication Platform machine can find details about the new hardware firmware here.
With the above in mind, there is even more reason for clients to start planning this firmware upgrade. Here’s a screen capture for your reference:
