I need to upgrade f/w again on the Seagate drives mentioned earlier in this thread. The difference now is that these 4 drives are in an active RAID 5 array, (i.e. 3 drives comprise the Virtual disk with one as the dedicated hot spare), whereas before they were simply unconfigured good drives and not part of a Virtual disk. I'm assuming I will do this the same way as before by using storcli64 to upgrade the f/w on all 4 drives, but what should I do within RWC2 to prepare the array (since it's now active) for this f/w update? Obviously I will backup the Virtual drive before attempting the f/w upgrade, but from within RWC2 do I put the array in some type of maintenance mode before running storcli64? I don't want to mess up the RAID 5 array.
Thanks.
