Out-of-date software and firmware

Updating outdated software and firmware  

Updating your software can be a four-part process:

• Update Data ONTAP
• Update only the node firmware
• Update only disk firmware
• Update only disk shelf firmware

  Note
  If you are updating Data ONTAP to a minor release (a dot release), node and disk shelf firmware are automatically updated. If you are updating to a major release of Data ONTAP, you must manually update node and disk shelf firmware.

For detailed information  

For details about updating Data ONTAP software, filer firmware, and disk shelf firmware, see the following sections.

• Updating Data ONTAP with node and disk firmware
• Updating node firmware only
• Updating disk firmware on mirrored clusters and nonswitched MetroClusters
• Updating disk shelf firmware only
