Does disk or shelf firmware get updated after an ONTAP upgrade even if auto-update is disabled?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- Disk / Shelf firmware upgrade
Answer
No. The disk or shelf firmware will not be updated after an ONTAP reboot or upgrade when auto-update is disabled by the operator.
Additional Information
- It is expected behavior that the
ha.bdfu.Enable
event will be raised after a takeover or giveback, which can be confusing. - However, this does not mean that auto-update gets re-enabled without user intervention.
