Replacing the microcode (or firmware) offline
Microcode, also known as firmware, is usually replaced online to prevent the loss of pool and pair data in shared memory.
If it is needed to be replaced offline (for example, when changing the configuration of shared memory), pool and pair information in shared memory is lost, and pools and pairs must be recreated.
