areca-cli: updating firmware

[Bob Willcox]

I want to update the firmware, bios, and boot code in my areca ARC-1210
raid controller and am a bit hesitant to do it for lack of any
experience updating this card. I want to use the areca-cli program to
do this and I see that the sys command appears to support updating the
firmware (via the "sys updatefw" command), but I don't know if I can use
this to update the bios and boot code as well or not. Can someone help
me out on this? Also, is it ok to do this update while the system is up
and using the card?

Thanks,
Bob
