Abstract:
A method and related computer program product for combining resources of multiple RAID controllers and managing them as a single entity, comprising searching the RAID controllers for the most appropriate version of the firmware to be executed, determining whether a more appropriate version of the firmware was previously loaded into system memory, unloading inappropriate versions of the firmware, loading the most appropriate version of the firmware and initializing all RAID controllers as a commonly managed entity having combined resources.
