Hello,
we have a vSAN Cluster with two ProLiant DL360 Gen9 working with VMware ESXi, 6.5.0, 5310538.
Now, the vSphere Management says, that the Current Smart Array P440ar Controller Firmware 4.02-0 is not VMware certified. Recommended Firmware is 4.52.0.
OK -> no problem. I want to upgrade the firmware with Version 5.04
But the Installer says:
[root@esx3:/vmfs/volumes/vsan:...] ./CP032042.vmexe HPE strongly recommends that this firmware update be performed in an offline environment. If this firmware update is performed online, ensure a graceful shutdown or restart is performed in order to flush all data from the controller cache before the new firmware is activated. Abruptly rebooting the system while there is data in cache might result in data loss.

iLo says Smart Array P440ar Controller = 4.02 too.
Can somebody help me?
