Hi - three quick questions. First, I get a lot of hazy information from Dell on upgrading my PERC firmware from 2.1 to the current 2.7. They say that if a container is in a degraded state and I do the upgrade, there is a good chance that container will be destroyed by the upgrade. 1. What are the odds that a degraded mirror will disappear when I move from 2.1 to 2.7 ? 1a. Let's say I make the containers healthy again - is upgrading the firmware then a zero risk operation ? Second, I keep hearing some lore about upgrading from 2.1 to 2.5 and then to 2.7. Is this useful/valuable at all, or is it just hearsay ? Finally, on my systems with degraded containers, I plan on using aaccli to first: disk verify /repair=TRUE (0,1,0) and then container set failover 1 (0,1,0) so basically, verify and fix the disk that is missing from the container, and then assign it back in and make the mirror healthy AND THEN upgrade the firmware. 3. Any comments/poinnters on the risks of doing that procedure, and of performaing it on a live, running system ? thanks!
