Hello Experts,

We are preparing to upgrade to 8.1.1 7-mode. All of our SAS disks need disk firmware upgrade, so I downloaded X412_S15K7560A15.zip.

inside /etc/disk_fw I see X412_S15K7560A15.lod.

I know have to to turn this on "options raid.background_disk_fw_update.enable"

I can access \etc\disk_fw via CIFS.

Should I move the  X412_S15K7560A15.zip inside \etc/disk_fw and then unzip inside OR

unzip X412_S15K7560A15.zip in a Windows machine and then copy-paste inside \etc\disk_fw?

Both steps would overwrite the existing LOD file, correct?

Or am I approaching this all wrong?

Thanks,

Maico
