Caution! The workarounds below will break RST RAID arrays and could lead to data loss. If your system has RST RAID arrays you should consider an alternate solution. Workaround 1: Disable RST Control in BIOS
This workaround requires BIOS options to enable or disable RST Control and is not available on all systems.
Note: Please backup all important data before you proceed!
1. Restart and enter the system BIOS
2. Locate the RST Configuration settings in BIOS
3. Change "RST Controlled" to "Not RST Controlled"
4. Save and exit BIOS
5. Open KSM and update the drive firmware
Once these steps are completed you may optionally switch back to "RST Controlled" in BIOS.
