I have a Dell PowerEdge R710 server, fitted with Hitachi HUS156045VLS600 450Gb SAS drives.
Unfortunately the disks are running NetApp NA02 firmware. I'd like to apply Dell E770 firmware so the drives run better with the MegaRAID/PERC H700/PERC 6i controller and the rest of the Dell system.
The Dell linux/rpm download package SAS-Drive_Firmware_YC07T_LN_E770_A00.BIN is a combo shell script and binary archive. Running the --extract option creates a directory with all the files. The script is very sophisticated and dense (and beyond my skills to decode).
I'd like to initiate the firmware download manually, as the scripted process fails the pre-requisite check, probably on prior firmware version not matching, which is to be expected, being NetApp to Dell.
Which app actually delivers the firmware to the drives or makes a HAPI call?
What command line should I run on the extracted directory to send E770.fwh to the drives?
