I would like to upgrade the Raid Controllers and NVSRAM firmware on my MD3400 12 disk array enclosure. What are the proper steps in completing this? This is a fairly new Storage Array currently running raid controller firmware version 08.20.11.60 and the NVSRAM version is N2701-820890-006. The readme that comes with the zip file doesn't really contain steps just a very basic overview of click upgrade and choose file. So my questions are:
Are their official steps to follow to prevent breaking something?
Can this be done with live vm's running?
Do I need to upgrade my harddrive firmware after upgrading the raid controllers and NVSRAM? If so, is there another place to find the upgrades for the drives? I don't see anything listed under Dell's support site for the Array. I have Seagate SAS drives with Product ID ST600MM0088
I really appreciate any help. Thank you.
