ESXi network firmware STORM vs MFW

$

Just logged into a newly built 6.7 host to verify the firmware versions after running HPE SPP to update all the device firmware... why server management keep getting more complicated when it should be as easy as taking candy from a baby? 

 

Here is what I see when I run 'esxcli network nic get -n vmnic0':   Firmware Version: Storm: 7.13.11.0 MFW: 7.15.56

 

In older versions of VMWare, when you ran this command this is what you would see in the output for firmware of the NIC:  Firmware Version: 11.1.183.23

 

OK, so now at this point I think you understand what my question is...   what the Hey is STORM vs MFW and which of these values am I concerned with when looking to verify compatibility of my NIC?   Ouput in the VMWare HCL \ IO devices doesn't produce output that shows Storm and MFW, it just simply reports a version that should be in place.. 

 

Can someone please unravel this I can't find anything published anywhere about this.. 

 

Thanks!
