HBA update issue on blade servers

Hi,

I am going to do this in my best English :).

In our Datacenter we have a diverse mix of rackmounts, blade servers and the newer sleds (mx740c). Since a few weeks tools like OpenManage Enterprise and OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter (OMIVV) is not giving updates for the FibreChannel HBA.
For our "older" bladeservers like PowerEdge M620/M630/M640 we are using the Emulex LPe12000 HBA. On our newer rackmounts R740's we use the Emulex LPe31002-m6-D 2-Port, for the sleds we use the Emulex LPm320002-D 2-Port.
According the Dell website there's new firmware available for all the models: 03.03.37, released 25 september 2020. I also checked the catalog.xml, and it's in there as well.

OpenManage Enterprise and OMIVV does not showing this update for the older M620/M630/M640. It doesn't even show up in the list as "already installed", like other components do. It does show updates for the Rackmounts R740's and the newer sleds.

If i go one of our M640 and go the hardware inventory in OpenManage, the HBA does show up there.

Can someone help me out?

Thanks,
Robin.
