Downloads microcode to the disk array's database drives, burns PROM code contained in the download file to the SP's PROMs, and restarts the SP using the new microcode. Downloads microcode to the disk array's database drives and restarts the SP using the new microcode. Downloads microcode to the disk array's database drives, but does not take effect until the SPs are restarted (with a Restart Controllers only command, or by power cycling the disk array). Restarts the SPs, using microcode residing on the database drives. Disk Firmware N/A Supplies firmware to all compatible disk modules within the disk array (that is, those with the same product ID). This applies even to disk modules owned by another SP. The firmware then resides permanently within those disk modules until another disk module firmware update is performed.

Update
Controller
Firmware
Download,

controllers
Downloads microcode to the disk array’s database
drives, burns PROM code contained in the download
file to the SP’s PROMs, and restarts the SP using the
new microcode.
Download and
restart
controllers
Downloads microcode to the disk array’s database
drives and restarts the SP using the new microcode.
Download only
Downloads microcode to the disk array’s database
drives, but does not take effect until the SPs are
