Notes

When you run this command, you can download more than one firmware image file to the physical disks in a storage array. The number of firmware image files you can download depends on the storage array. The storage management software will return an error if you attempt to download more firmware image files than the storage array can accept.

You can schedule downloads for multiple physical disks at the same time, including multiple physical disks in a redundant disk group. Each firmware image file contains information about the physical disk types on which the image will run. The specified firmware images will only be downloaded to a compatible physical disk. Use the download physical disk firmware command to download an image to a specific physical disk.
