MDS600 firmware update from a Proliant system?

BDay — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 21:19:19 GMT

How does one go about upgrading the firmware on an MDS600 which is directly connected to a Proliant DL360 G6 system running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise?

All I see are options/downloads for upgrading it through VSM for a blade solution or Integrity solutions.

Thank you in advance.

Excellent thank you, I'll give that a shot. I see a new 9.0 firmware DVD was just released too.
