RAID subsystems have the following components in their flash image:

• Running – The version that is currently running on the subsystem or

expansion unit.

• Flashed – This version was updated but does not run until the

subsystem restarts.

See “Updating Firmware on a RAID Subsystem” on page 73.

JBOD expansion units have only one component in their flash image, SEP

firmware. It only appears as running.

Updating Firmware on a RAID Subsystem

Use this function to flash (update) the firmware on the VTrak. See page 241 for
