Confirmed. The copy of the OS on the firmware is there to provide a source for the OS when setting up a new array. The copy of the OS that they system operates from is on the drives as is the configuration. It is part of the array. When the array is lost, so is the configuration and the installed OS.
This means you must establish a new array, copying the OS from the flash memory, and establishing a new configuration. Unless you have a configuration that is very complex, it is not all that bad. We have actually spent more time discussing it than it should take to re-do it. The first time you go through it, it can be confusing, but once you have done it, it is easy to just follow the script and make each choice again.
