If your system is configured with a StorageWorks RAID controller, continue with the
following section of this chapter. If you do not have a RAID controller, skip the following
section.
Updating the StorageWorks RAID Controller Firmware
If your system is configured with a StorageWorks RAID controller with a firmware
version below V3.11, it is strongly recommended that you update the RAID controller
firmware.
Although the utility can be executed from CD-ROM, the RAID configurations cannot be
saved to CD-ROM. It is recommended that you create a utility floppy, as described in
Step 1, below. For complete instructions on using the RAID standalone configuration
utility, refer to the StorageWorks RAID Array 200 Subsystems Family Controller
Installation and Standalone Configuration Utility User’s Guide.
