The last time I did this (last June, 5.3.5 => 5.3.6, FDF6 => NA26 on ST39102FC disks, on an F740) then there was definitely a period of non-responsiveness of the filer, even if only a single (and spare) disk was being updated, long enough to make NFS clients start logging "NFS server so-and-so not responding".
We've consistantly seen the same behavior all the way up to 5.3.7R2.
It would be a "Bad Thing(tm)" if DOT 6.x automatcially performs this command without asking or without an override, and the disk firmware upgrade mechanism still involves network outtages. =)
