Drives native to IBM i get firmware updated by PTFs.
Drives hosted by VIOS are often not updated by VIOS upgrades and require
you to run a special tool to look for updates.
IBM has a FlashSystem model of SAN with an alert out on it that if you run
for about 800 days or so without any firmware updates it could go casters
up.
