we have EMC Celerra NX4. In that we created LUNs and Mounted into four VMware ESXi Servers through Fibre Channel connectivity. At first all 4 hosts are VMware ESXi 4.1.0. Now i upgraded those four hosts to ESXi 5.0. Still Host OS is VMware ESXi 4.1.0 showed. How can i Update the Host OS information?
I guess, as ESXi version is upgraded to 5.0..it is not a fresh install..hence storage group properties > hosts would not
reflect VMware ESXi 5.0.
If you have any ESXi 5.0 (full installation not upgrade from previous version) host available, try connecting with the array and cross-verify..it should reflect as ESXi 5.0.
still OS version not updated even i did so many time "Update Now" and we did planned maintenance activity in our datacenter. All hosts and Storage Booted yesterday.

Hi vipin and all,
Now Host OS version is updated in Storage side. I did the followings as per EMC TSE's suggestion,
Steps to perform:
2. De-register the host initiators in connectivity status tab.
3. Restart the Management Server.
Note: This procedure must be performed on both storage processors to be effective!
4. Re-enable the Disk.EnableNaviReg = 1
Please click "Update now" for some times in Storage Array. Now OS version will updated.
Note: ESXi host reboot causes downtime. In my environment i moved virtual machines to another hosts through vmotion.
