Such updates often encompass critical bug fixes, enhanced compatibility, and advanced security features that are indispensable for preserving your data integrity and maintaining optimal operational efficiency. **An important patch has been introduced in this new firmware (version E3MQ005). We strongly recommend updating your firmware to avoid premature failure.** > **Firmware Release Notes:** > > - Increased compatibility with customer platforms > - Disable LTR (Latency Tolerance Reporting) support > - Improved overall product robustness for handling invalid commands and non‑compliant host behavior > - Improved firmware handling during shutdown and power‑on > - Improved MCP command handling > - Improved NVMe‑Mi command processing and handling > - Improved alignment with OCP 2.0 specification ## Drive Part Number - **MTFDKCC960TGP-1BK1DABYY** (960 GB capacity) - **MTFDKCC1T9TGP-1BK1DABYY** (1.92 TB capacity) - **MTFDKCC3T8TGP-1BK1DABYY** (3.84 TB capacity) - **MTFDKCC7T6TGP-1BK1DABYY** (7.86 TB capacity) - **MTFDKCC15T3TGP-1BK1DABYY** (15.36 TB capacity) **The purpose of this guide is to help you upgrade your Micron 7500 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe firmware.** ## Requirements A bare metal server with a Micron 7500 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe device, from the following ranges: - High Grade - Scale - Advance - Rise (Processor AMD Ryzen R5‑5600X, AMD Ryzen R7‑5800X, AMD Ryzen R7‑3700pro, AMD Epyc 7302, Intel Xeon E5‑2689v4) ## Instructions :::danger - Before attempting any firmware update, a backup of the data on the drive **must** be made. Use our guide on [Backup Storage](/fr/guides/bare-metal-cloud/dedicated-servers/services-backup-storage.md) to learn how to back up your data. - The firmware update does **not** format the drive or delete data, but a firmware update failure may happen. **Do not power off the drive or the bare metal server during the firmware update process.** ::: :::info All commands must be run as **root** for Linux and VMware ESXi, and with an **administrator** account for Windows.\ ::: ### Linux #### Software configuration tested by OVHcloud | Platform | nvme flash tool version | Firmware | Result | | --------------- | ----------------------- | -------- | ------ | | Debian 13 OS | 2.13‑2 | E3MQ005 | OK | | Debian 12 OS | 2.4+really2.3‑3 | E3MQ005 | OK | | Ubuntu 22.04 OS | 1.16‑3ubuntu0.3 | E3MQ005 | OK | | Ubuntu 24.04 OS | 2.8‑1ubuntu0.1 | E3MQ005 | OK | | Rocky 9 OS | 2.11‑6.el9\_6 | E3MQ005 | OK | | Rocky 10 OS | 2.11‑6.el10\_0 | E3MQ005 | OK | #### Step 1 – Install `nvme‑cli` ```bash dnf install nvme-cli # RHEL, CentOS, RockyLinux, AlmaLinux, Fedora, etc. ``` ```bash apt install nvme-cli # Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Proxmox, etc. ``` #### Step 2 – Check if a firmware update is needed The command `nvme list` lists all NVMe devices on your server: ```bash nvme list | grep -E 'Node|MTFDKCC960TGP-1BK1DABYY|MTFDKCC1T9TGP-1BK1DABYY|MTFDKCC3T8TGP-1BK1DABYY|MTFDKCC7T6TGP-1BK1DABYY|MTFDKCC15T3TGP-1BK1DABYY' ``` :::info We added a filter on this command to only display Micron 7500 PRO NVMe devices, because the firmware update only concerns these NVMe models and your server may have other disks connected to it. ::: :::info If the column **FW Rev** for all your Micron 7500 PRO devices is already **E3MQ005**, your firmware is up‑to‑date and you do not need to continue.

Here are example commands for how to update the 2 NVMe drives and their output: ```bash [root@labo:~] esxcli nvme device firmware download -A vmhba6 -f /Micron_7500_E3MQ005_release.ubi Download firmware successfully.

[root@labo:~] esxcli nvme device firmware activate -a 3 -A vmhba7 -s 2 Commit firmware successfully. ``` At this point the firmware update is complete. Reboot the server to finish the process. #### Step 3 – Verify firmware version after reboot You can use the same nvme list command as in step 1: ```bash esxcli nvme adapter list | grep -oE '^vmhba\S' \ | xargs -I% sh -c "esxcli nvme device get -A % \ | grep -qE 'MTFDKCC960TGP-1BK1DABYY|MTFDKCC1T9TGP-1BK1DABYY|MTFDKCC3T8TGP-1BK1DABYY|MTFDKCC7T6TGP-1BK1DABYY|MTFDKCC15T3TGP-1BK1DABYY' && echo %" \ | xargs -I% sh -c "echo %:; esxcli nvme device get -A % \ | grep -E 'Model Number:|Firmware Revision:'" ``` Expected output: ```text vmhba4: Model Number: MTFDKCC1T9TGP-1BK1DABYY Firmware Revision: E3MQ005 vmhba5: Model Number: MTFDKCC1T9TGP-1BK1DABYY Firmware Revision: E3MQ005 ``` Now your NVMe drives should have have the firmware version **E3MQ005**. ### Windows #### Software configuration tested by OVHcloud | Platform | Flash tool | Firmware | Result | | --------------- | --------------- | -------- | ------ | | Windows 2019 OS | msecli 08.11.25 | E3MQ005 | OK | | Windows 2022 OS | msecli 08.11.25 | E3MQ005 | OK | | Windows 2025 OS | msecli 08.11.25 | E3MQ005 | OK | #### Step 1 – Download `msecli` Download the `msecli` executable:\ [https://last-public-ovh-baremetal.snap.mirrors.ovh.net/hardware/7500\_PRO/msecli-windows.exe](https://last-public-ovh-baremetal.snap.mirrors.ovh.net/hardware/7500_PRO/msecli-windows.exe) Install the software with the default options. #### Step 2 – List NVMe drive Open Windows PowerShell as Administrator, then run the following command to list NVMe devices: ```bash msecli -L | sls "MTFDKCC960TGP-1BK1DABYY","MTFDKCC1T9TGP-1BK1DABYY","MTFDKCC3T8TGP-1BK1DABYY","MTFDKCC7T6TGP-1BK1DABYY","MTFDKCC15T3TGP-1BK1DABYY" -Context 0,11 ``` :::info We added a filter on this command to only display the Micron 7500 PRO NVMe, because the firmware update only concerns these NVMe references and your server may have other disks connected to it. ::: :::info If the line **FW‑Rev** for all your NVMe Micron 7500 PRO devices already displays version **E3MQ005**, your firmware is up‑to‑date and you do not need to continue this process.\ On the other hand, if at least one firmware is different from version **E3MQ005**, you must proceed with step 3. ::: ##### Example result on a server with 2 NVMe drives to update ```bash PS C:\Windows\system32> msecli -L | sls "MTFDKCC960TGP-1BK1DABYY","MTFDKCC1T9TGP-1BK1DABYY","MTFDKCC3T8TGP-1BK1DABYY","MTFDKCC7T6TGP-1BK1DABYY","MTFDKCC15T3TGP-1BK1DABYY" -Context 0,11 ``` Expected output: ```text > Model No : MTFDKCC1T9TGP-1BK1DABYY Serial No : 082510AA535D FW-Rev : E3MQ001 Drive Density : 1920.00GB Total Size : 1920.00GB Drive Status : Drive is in good health PCI Path (B:D.F) : 1D:00.0 Vendor : Micron ZNS Supported : No PCIe Link Speed : 16.0 GT/s Device Path : OS Device : Drive0 > Model No : MTFDKCC1T9TGP-1BK1DABYY Serial No : 082510AA5337 FW-Rev : E3MQ001 Drive Density : 1920.00GB Total Size : 1920.00GB Drive Status : Drive is in good health PCI Path (B:D.F) : 20:00.0 Vendor : Micron ZNS Supported : No PCIe Link Speed : 16.0 GT/s Device Path : OS Device : Drive1 ``` #### Step 3 – Firmware update Download the firmware binary on your server: ```bash Invoke-WebRequest "https://last-public-ovh-baremetal.snap.mirrors.ovh.net/hardware/7500_PRO/Micron_7500_E3MQ005_release.ubi" -OutFile "Micron_7500_E3MQ005_release.ubi" ``` Execute the following command for each identified NVMe in step 2.
