Not an answer to your question, but the approach I'd take is renting a portable 110V or 220V A/C unit from somebody like spot-coolers.com to get you through the resilver, then apply the firmware update. (And then I'd start trying to convince management that it's worth adding a unit permanently -- our Office Pro 24 24000BTU/hr cost us under $4k back in 2011.) -- Dave Pooser Cat-Herder-in-Chief, Pooserville.com _______________________________________________ OmniOS-discuss mailing list OmniOS-discuss@lists.omniti.com http://lists.omniti.com/mailman/listinfo/omnios-discuss
