Shelf Firmware Output

billyd — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:36:18 GMT

Looks like there may be an error with the get-nashelf command. The output looks good for the older shelf technology since the firmware versions are only 2 digits in length. For the IOM3/6, the firmware is 4 digits in length. Is this a known issue? Am I using the command incorrectly? Output of command below.

it looks fine.. Your IOM's are showing up as 0172,

as firmware revision A and B

Hey Josh,

Thanks for responding. I gave your script a shot and it was failing. I think it's due to not having credentials in the connect-nacontroller line. I may have not created the CSV properly.

The main concern is the Firmware A showing 01 and Firmware B showing 62. It's not a huge issue (I can combine the two), it just doesn't seem that the get-nashelf command works properly with the new IOM shelves.

Thanks again.

Ok, if you need credentials to connect to your controller, I can give you that snippit of code... Also, my controller input is in .csv.. Look at the import.csv and the title is controllers.

The firmware is 100% showing fine for IOM Modules. YOu need both A and B...

Get-NaShelf does not return output for AT/AT-FCX loops, output is only returned for ESH4/ESH2 loops. Is this a bug? I'm running Data ONTAP PowerShell Toolkit 3.2. ONTAP 7-Mode 7.3.3P5
