Enabling compute firmware upgrade paths on UCP Advisor version 4.6

If you are upgrading compute firmware from earlier versions of UCP Advisor with UCP Advisor 4.6 firmware bundle, then you must enable the metadata.yaml file with the upgrade paths in the firmware bundle.

1. Download the firmware bundle for both DSxxx and HA800 series server models for UCP Advisor 4.6 version from the Hitachi Support Connect portal. A Hitachi login credential is required.
2. Use an unzip utility to extract the firmware bundle.
3. Navigate to the DS_compute07102024 or the HA_compute07102024 folder.
4. Open the metadata.yaml file and then add a new line listing the supported versions for both BMC and BIOS. For example: Versions 4.76.06 for BMC, version S5BH3B24.H00 for BIOS.
