I remember a few years ago that disk firmware updates should only be done in maintenance mode and then do offline update. We are running 11.7.0.8 now so has that recommendation changed? If we can do disk firmware updates in the online mode that would be ideal. Thanks!

Hi @proper storm, hope you are doing well. Which appliance do you have? Here is a link to our docs page for the SG5700 which references an Online Upgrade can be performed:

Hello! I have 16x of the SG6060 models

Ah I see, here's the SG6000 specific page: https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/storagegrid-appliances/sg6000/upgrading-drive-firmware-using-santricity-system-manager-online.html
It is possible, but please keep in mind it can take significantly longer to upgrade via the Online method vs. the offline method as noted in the docs.
