RE: VIOS: fix 15511800

FixCentral is where you source it from.

The ECA calls for the firmware to be updated first since the new card will
not run on the old firmware. Then the card will be replaced. That will
most likely require downtime. The existing card actually has a
significant fault in it that can only be factory updated. The firmware
patches the card to avoid very unpleasant problems in between the firmware
update and the card replacement. Since the firmware will be the same on all
of the cards at that point there should not be any RAID rebuild or other
unhappy situations when the cards are replaced, although I have seen RAID
rebuilds.

I've done four of these already with three more planned in the very near
future. Mostly harmless, but VIOS does increase the complexity some.

I don't even know where to download it from.

There is some discussion on card replacement going on but I get confused.
Like, if I have to upgrade the firmware on the cards why do they need
replaced after that?
