It's not only FI, but UCS manager, IOM and servers.

This process is documented in detail, see eg.

What is the current version that you use ?

Thank you for your response.

The current version is 2.03a and i need update FW Cisco UCS because it is a NetApp FlexPod Solution.

We will update the NetApp DATA Ontap from version 8.1.1 to 8.2 and the NetApp IMT (Interoperability Matrix Tool)  request the minimum version FI 2.05a.

We will intend to do the update Cisco FI to version 2.1 or 2.2 version.

Thank you for your help.

Hi MRF

I would at least upgrade the infrastructure (UCSM, FI and IOM) to 2.2.

The Server could then be at 2.1 or 2.2

See http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/upgrading/from2-0/to2-2/b_UpgradingCiscoUCSFrom2-0To2-2.html

and check with the interop utilitly, if your OS is still supported

Good luck
