Warning:
The TPMWatch application must be terminated prior to updating disk
drive firmware. Failure to do so may cause one or more disk drives to become
inoperable.
Warning:
If you attempt to flash new firmware to the disk drive or controller while
background jobs are running (the drive is transferring data), drive operation could
become unpredictable and the drive may even become inoperable. In this event, drive
data recovery may have to be performed by a professional data recovery lab.
When you click OK , the View/Modify RAID Controller Configuration dialog box
appears (see Figure 3-52 on page 89). Make sure you disable the Operational Fault
Management and Auto Rebuild Management functions on this dialog box, then click
Apply . You are returned to the main TPM menu.
