Set RAID to offline mode
Hello,
we have a dell R630 server. We would like to apply a driver upgrade:
LITEON 2.5IN 6Gb SATA BOOT SSD,110C
This upgrade states:
This update will run on drives remaining in a RAID set that is in a Offline state.
How can we set the RAID to offline mode?
Thanks and BR/

Cpalomo,
That comment is just specifying that the update will run on drives in that state, not that it requires them to be offline to update. This update will not run if any of the following conditions exist though.
1. Any Virtual Disk that is not optimal.
2. A RAID container that is performing a Background Initialization or Consistency Check.
3. A Rebuild, Resync, or copyback function is taking place.
4. A RAID set that is Partially Degraded or in a Degraded state.
I would suggest running the update.
Let me know if this helps.
