We’ve recently updated a few of our Netapp filers to recommended versions of disk shelf firmware. To determine the version the diskshelf is currently running you can enter the following command. This will present additional info but in the middle of the output you will find the highlighted information
filername> sysconfig -a
Shelf 0: IOM3 Firmware rev. IOM3 A: 0131 IOM3 B: 0131
Shelf 1: IOM3 Firmware rev. IOM3 A: 0131 IOM3 B: 0131
Shelf 2: IOM3 Firmware rev. IOM3 A: 0132 IOM3 B: 0132
The latest firmware for these particular diskshelves was 0132 so 2 of our shelves required updates. The latest versions of firmware for the IOM3 shelves were found at the link below on the now.netapp.com site (access required)

Once downloaded you can copy the extracted sfw and fvf files to \\filername\c$\etc\shelf_fw directory.
When the files have been placed in this directory connect to your filer via Putty and run the following commands. Make sure you read thru the information on the shelf FW site. It will tell give you the details of which shelf models can be upgraded non-disruptively.
filername> priv set advanced
Warning: These advanced commands are potentially dangerous; use them only when directed to do so by NetApp personnel.

After the update completes run the following command again and you will notice all the the shelves are up to date
