4Lx, 5i, 6i, 6i+, 6M, or 7k ServeRAID controllers, create a folder named
SRVRAID. If you are updating the 8i, create a folder named SVRAID8I. The
final path should look like the following for the 4H, 4Mx, 4Lx, 5i, 6i, 6i+, 6M, or
7k ServeRAID controllers:
.\sgdeploy\updates\SRVRAID
or if you are updating the BIOS/firmware of the 8i ServeRAID controller:
.\sgdeploy\updates\SVRAID8I
2. Now that the directory structure has been created, we need the actual
BIOS/firmware flash files. Go to the IBM Support Web site and download the
latest BIOS/firmware for your supported ServeRAID controller. The IBM
Support Web site can be found at the following URL:
http://www.ibm.com/support
3. When the diskette image has downloaded, extract the image to a diskette and
copy the contents of the diskette to the correct folder within the updates folder.
