Updating ServeRAID Firmware/BIOS With RDM 4.11

Overview This white paper explains how to use IBM Remote Deployment Manager (RDM) 4.11 (or a later RDM version) to update the firmware and BIOS on a ServeRAID adapter. There are other ways to flash a ServeRAID adapter (e.g., with the ServeRAID Support CD, with the ServeRAID diskettes, with the UpdateXpress CD, etc.). But using RDM to do this from a remote console on hundreds of systems concurrently, without having to visit the systems, is a powerful and easy way to accomplish this task. This White Paper is intended to help skilled RDM administrators to create deployment procedures and to understand the concepts involved.
