  No, you can update the firmware without a reboot, but the update will sit in the controller cache until a reboot is performed. So yes, you can perform the update without rebooting, but it will not take affect until you perform a reboot. Thanks
Hello all, My monitoring system is sending me alert because my RAID controllers being out of date. The RAID controllers are just fine but the state is Degraded because of the "Latest Available Firmware Version " which means I can't monitor them properly if something really bad happens. Is there a way to disable the alert or lower the minimum version expected ? I just can't manage to reboot all my servers just for a RAID firmware update. My monitoring system is expecting a Status : Ok Thanks a lot in advance !
