After running the 3Ware diagnostic script, the status of the array went to OK. A short time later, it reverted to this
$ sudo /usr/local/sbin/tw_cli info c0 u0 Unit UnitType Status %RCmpl %V/I/M Port Stripe Size(GB) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ u0 RAID-0 OK - - - 64K 195.548 u0-0 UNKNOWN UNKNOWN - - p0 - 104.314 u0/v0 Volume - - - - - 195.548
But this differs from the web output (image) which is rather similar to the original cli output. Look at Subunit 1 underneath Subunit 2 (bottom of the page).
So.. here goes an upgrade of the firmware:
$ sudo /usr/local/sbin/tw_cli //supernews> update fw=/home/dan/3WareFirmware/prom0006.img Warning: Updating the firmware can render the device driver and/or management tools incompatible. Before you update the firmware, it is recommended that you: 1) Back up your data. 2) Make sure you have a copy of the current firmware image so that you can roll back, if necessary. 3) Close all applications.

After the reboot:
