Sas/Sata Hard Disk Firmware A46, where's the .iso?
I have a copy of version A43 of the Dell SAS/SATA Hard Disk firmware update utility, which was new in March of 2013, i see that A46 has just been released, but it doesn't seem to have any .iso included with it, and says that only windows operating systems are supported. What happened to having a .iso included, and just booting to the CD, running all the updates, and THEN worrying about which OS you're on? i'm running CentOS, based on Red Hat Linux, and i can't get to the latest and greatest firmware.
Anyone with info, please spill it here!

Not a SAN in this case, just a bunch of SAS/SATA disks I have in an MD1000, attached to a PERC6/E in a PE2950.
A43's EXE file had an iso included, bootable update utility, worked great! If you look at the installation instructions for that, i believe it mentions the iso. But as of A44 and newer, this has been removed.

You posted in the Dell|EMC Storage forum. The Dell|EMC systems never had ISO files for drive firmware updates as far as I remember.
Which model Dell|EMC SAN do you have that there is an ISO for drive firmware?
