Why so long?
I just spent 6 hours figuring out how to update buggy, data-eating SAS disk firmware on an HP ProLiant server. This is ridiculous. Get your shit together, @HPE.

Because online firmware update does not work on cacheless HP Smart Array controllers and their FW updater refuses to work. I had to disassemble it to learn it supports offline update mode, if the system is in "offline" mode. Then I spent hours guessing how to get into that mode.

Gonna keep that thread aside just in case, I have the feeling I'll need the tips soon. Thanks for your time.

Which isn't supported on older servers. And what if I'm not even using HP hardware? What if I have their drive on a non-HP controller? Why can't they just release a firmware file for use with standard tools or standalone bootable updater like *every other HDD manufacturer*?
