I haven't been able to find out what the difference is. The "q" ones seem to work fine for updating the firmware so there is no issue, I'm just curious, I can't imagine there's extra files there for no reason.</P> Wed, 04 Jun 2025 13:10:23 GMT Sycraft 2025-06-04T13:10:23Z https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/What-s-the-difference-between-94P3-q-image-tgz-and-image-v-94P3-tgz/m-p/144309#M31965 <P>When I download images for updating our FAS, I see there are basically two copies of everyting a "q" version and a "v" version.
