摘要:
The present invention concerns an apparatus comprising a management utility and a processing utility. The management utility may be implemented on a host computer and be configured to initiate a request to apply a firmware update to a plurality of drives in an array. The processing utility may be implemented on a drive controller and may be configured to (i) determine which of the plurality of drives are in an idle state, (ii) send the firmware update to the drives determined to be in the idle state and (iii) repeat (i) and (ii) until all of the drives have been updated.
