Updating disk firmware
The Disks tab shows information about each disk in the system and its firmware, and whether firmware updates are available.
Disk location is shown in the format <enclosure-number>.<disk-slot-number>.
The process to update disk firmware is to upload a firmware file from the manufacturer, select the disks to update, and then apply the update to those disks. A dual-ported disk drive can be updated from either controller. For details, follow the onscreen directions and Best practices for updating firmware.
CAUTION:Before updating disk firmware, stop I/O to the storage system. During the update all volumes will be temporarily inaccessible to hosts. If I/O is not stopped, mapped hosts will report I/O errors. Volume access is restored after the update completes.
