Hello and sorry for my english,

An update is available for Disk FW revision NA03 for disk model X387_WPSCE16TA07.

An update is available for Disk FW revision NA03 for disk model X388_WPSCE16TA07.

i can dismiss, update, schedule.

If i update, i can have trouble in production ?

ALWAYS -> keep SHELF and DISK firmware up to date!

It is non disruptive. Please do it.

You can always just grab the all.zip (disk) and the all_shelf_fw.zip (shelf) files (and even the updated disk qualifaction package) from these locations:

https://mysupport.netapp.com/site/downloads/firmware/disk-shelf-firmware

https://mysupport.netapp.com/site/downloads/firmware/disk-drive-firmware/download/DISKQUAL/ALL/qual_devices.zip

Use the GUI and just upload the firmware files. Easy

also, no risk for install all_shelf_fw.zip in production ?

correct. No disuption.

It does one side at a time (IOM-A, install, reboot, verify then it does IOM-B)
