Hello all!<br><br>I'm trying to find a way to update the firmware version of my PERC 5i from the CLI. Is this possible? The system BIOS update worked without any problems whatsoever.<br><br>I realize Cent isn't *officially* supported, I'd just like to know if I'm missing something simple to make this work. <br>
<br>Thanks for taking the time to at least read this!<br><br>I'm using CentOS 5.3 with the following info:<br><br>#rpm -qa | grep -i perc<br>PERC_5_i_Integrated_ven_0x1028_dev_0x0015_subven_0x1028_subdev_0x1f03-a09-21<br>
