I've tried, but failed so far:

Indx = Index number used for referencing the device
Rev = Firmware Revision of the device
Note: Due to different calculation methods used, the size
of the device shown is only a rough approximation.
Please wait while I search for all the firmware files.
Note: This may take a while if you are booting from tape.

Aborting.

So the fw update program confirms the disk is there,
but doesn't want to update the firmware. Either it's up to date,
or something else is going wrong. For the system firmware there
was an option to force reflash, even if it's up-to-date.
Not sure how to do it here.
many thanks
