Good evening,
I sincerely apologise in advance for the rather noob-level question, but...
Is it possible to update the firmware on my (already crossflashed) PERC-H200, from within FreeNAS without removing the card?
The HBA is currently running LSI firmware version 20.00.04 00 in IT mode.
I was all ready to create a bootable USB drive again, remove the card, and perform the whole procedure in a Frankenstein's monster of a spare workstation - but some last-minute forum scouring suggests that it might be acceptable to update firmware on a live FreeNAS system from within the CLI?
On one hand, it's not a massive mission to down the server and rip it apart.
On the other hand, if I can just have it updated in-situ in 1 minute and simply reboot the server afterwards, then yay!
Any advice appreciated, with kind thanks,
S.
