Hard Drive firmware update issue with DSU

Greetings -

Well it looks like a recent drive replacement has created a domino 
effect for me with a firmware update and now an OMSA installation 
issue.  I will hold the OMSA issue for another email, as I am still have 
a little research to try to identify and resolve the issue.

The basics of the firmware update issue that I have is that the DSU 
inventory identifies that I have drives (same manufacturer and model) 
showing different firmware, but that running the update does not update 
the firmware on the drive that is not shown as the current version.  
Details of the dsu output are below.  My system is a PE T610 and I have 
4 drives installed configured in a RAID 5 (3 active drives and 1 hot 
spare) on a PERC H700 Controller.  The model of the drive replaced (all 
drives are the same model) is a Seagate SAS 300GB, ST3300657SS.  The 
Seagate support site identifies the current firmware for the drive as 
000B, released on 8/13/2012.  The Dell support site identifies the 
current firmware for the drive as ES68, released on 6/10/2015.  The new 
drive I installed shows a firmware version of 000B, while the firmware 
of the three original drives is shown as ES68.  This is shown in the dsu 
--inventory results below (all other firmware on the box is up-to-date 
and is not shown).  However when the dsu update is run it only 
identifies the first drive in the backplane (which has current firmware) 
and does not make any reference to the other three drives, and in 
particular the drive that has firmware 000B.  So my question becomes, 
how do I updated the firmware in one specific drive?  Is this a bug in 
the implementation of the dsu utility?

Please cc any responses directly to me, as I only receive the daily 
digest of this mailing list.  Thanks.
