Downloading EMM Firmware
NOTICE: Do not make any configuration changes to the storage array while you are
downloading the EMM firmware. Doing so could cause the firmware download to
fail, damage the storage array, or cause loss of data accessibility.
NOTE: Due to a limitation with Linux, EMM firmware updates must be performed
using out-of-band management only. Failure to do so may result in the host server
becoming unresponsive, and it may require a reboot.
