command-line interface (CLI) only and it requires running one CLI command per drive.
The time required to perform drive upgrade varies depending on the number of drives to be
upgraded and the capacity of these drives. You need to plan your drive firmware upgrade task
accordingly. Verify all Supported Drive Types and Firmware Levels for IBM Flex System
