Updating Controller and Disk Drive Firmware
Note: This task is recommended for advanced users only.
maxView Storage Manager includes a wizard to help you update the firmware on the controllers and
disk drives in your storage space. The wizard updates the firmware for devices of the same type on the
local or a remote system.
For example, if your storage space includes disk drives from two different manufactures, you must
update the firmware for each manufacturer's drives separately by running the wizard twice. Additionally,
if you have more than one system in your storage space, you must run the wizard for each system
separately.
To update the firmware on the controllers and disk drives in your storage space, review the prerequisites
