Cmdlet: Start-NcDiskUpdate


NAME
Start-NcDiskUpdate

SYNOPSIS
Start disk firmware download process to update firmware on disks.

SYNTAX
Start-NcDiskUpdate -Node <String> [-Controller <NcController[]>] [-WhatIf] [
-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

Start-NcDiskUpdate [-Name] <String> -Node <String> [-Controller <NcControlle
r[]>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]


DESCRIPTION
Start disk firmware download process to update firmware on disks. This oper
ation is asynchronous and therefore returns no errors that might occur durin
g the download process. This operation will only update firmware on disks t
hat do not have the latest firmware revision. The firmware revision on the
disk can be monitored via Get-NcDisk.


PARAMETERS
-Node <String>
The name of a node on which to update all disks. This parameter may als
o be specified if the Name parameter is not of the format "<Node Name>:<
Disk Name>".

Required? true
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? true (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false

-Controller <NcController[]>
A clustered Data ONTAP controller to receive this cmdlet, as embodied by
an NcController object. This parameter is returned by the Connect-NcCo
ntroller cmdlet. If not specified, the value in the global variable Cur
rentNcController is used. In the latter case, if CurrentNcController co
ntains a collection of NcController objects, this cmdlet is invoked on e
ach controller in succession.

Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? true (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false

-WhatIf


Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false

-Confirm


Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false

-Name <String>
The name of the disk to update. The disk name should use the format "<N
ode Name>:<Disk Name>", such as "VxeRubble-01:1a.02.23".

Required? true
Position? 1
Default value
Accept pipeline input? true (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false

<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,

NOTES


Category: disk
API: disk-update-disk-fw
Family: cluster

-------------- Example 1 --------------

C:\PS>Start-NcDiskUpdate -Node VxeRubble-01


Update all disks on node 'VxeRubble-01'.





-------------- Example 2 --------------

C:\PS>Start-NcDiskUpdate VxeRubble-01:1a.02.23
Get-NcDisk VxeRubble-01:1a.02.23 | Start-NcDiskUpdate
Start-NcDiskUpdate 1a.02.23 -Node VxeRubble-01


These three commands all behave identically: update disk '1a.02.23' on node
'VxeRubble-01'.





-------------- Example 3 --------------

C:\PS>Get-NcNode VxeRubble-* | Start-NcDiskUpdate


Update all disks on nodes with names matching 'VxeRubble-*'.
