Got some servers with RAID Controllers and SSD.
Raid Controller: LSI MegaRaid 9271-4i
SSD: Intel 520
The MegaRaid controllers have the ability to update drive firmware using MegaCLI.
Intel for example only offers a Firmware Update Tool, and not direct .bin Firmware files.
Is there a possibility to update these drives without pulling them out and attaching them to a normal SATA controller and using the FUT?
Any other ways you can think of for doing this? Or do people using RAID Controllers + SSD not update their SSD Firmware's at all?
Answer
You don't have an option to do this through your RAID controller. In practice, I don't update SSD firmware unless it's fully vendor-integrated (Like Fusion-io or HP-branded and Dell-branded Sandisk enterprise disks).
If you DO need to update the firmware, you will need to connect directly to a SATA port and use the manufacturer's utility.
