PERC 4e Di firmware 522a

[Paul M. Dyer]

Thanks for the info.   I got along further.   It was necessary to delete everything in /var/spool/up2date and redo the wget commands.   All looked well until update_firmware, which had some python errors.   Please advise.

[root at lxprodas1 up2date]# update_firmware

Searching storage directory for available BIOS updates...

Just tested 522D on one of my systems and it works fine for me.

You missed this:

# up2date --solvedeps=$(bootstrap_firmware -u)

This bootstraps the correct package set onto your system. Until you do
this, it wont know the RPM mapping to PCI devices.
