Best practices: Most HDD firmware updates are bootable, so you just obtain the utility, boot to it, and update. You cannot update non-Dell drive firmware with Dell firmware (I.e. if you purchased retail/generic drives).
We have a Power Edge server R210II  with OS MS Server 2008R2 and a PERC H200 controller RAID (two HDD 1TB Seagate SATA in RAID1). Recently there is a new firmware for Seagate drives on a dell support website (Update Package for MS Windows). I really do not want to lose the server :), and never update firmware the server disks with RAID (I updated the only drives on PC).Can anyone point me to a procedure for updating the firmware on my drives ? Any issues with upgrade, best practices e.t.c ?Thanks for any help,Marius
