Hard Drive firmware updates through Yum repo?

Is there no way of updating the firmware of those drives "offline" but  
still remotely?

I thought the more recent firmware updates installed something like a  
temporary bootable image in RAM, then rebooted the server in some mode  
that accessed that RAM, ran the updater, then rebooted again. (I saw  
this happening for System BIOS or the PERCs, I think.) But I might be  
mistaken.
