Subject:   Recommended methods to upgrade firmware on HBAs

Hi All,

1.       What is the current recommended method for upgrading firmware for HBAs?

2.       Is there a mechanism wherein the firmware binary can be provided as a separate file, which is then made accessible to the  corresponding device driver during device initialization?

3.       Is there a restriction on the size of driver.ko file? If not, is it acceptable to provide the firmware as fw_file.c which is then compiled into the driver.
Thanks
david S.
