ME4 disk firmware update

Hi all,

It seems from the documentation that the ME4 doesn't support online disk firmware updates. Can someone confirm this? It seems extraordinary that this is not possible online. I realise under the hood the ME4 is a Dot Hill system with custom firmware, but surely there is a way to allow one disk updated at a time assuming all pools are using appropriate RAID levels?

How does one handle a scenario where a failed drive is replaced and has an older firmware? It seems pointless then having dual controllers particularly if you are faced with a disk firmware bug that is critical.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Ben
