disk update

Hello, I am upgrading the device. I upgraded the FAS8040 storage version from 9.3 to 9.5. After the version upgrade, I found that the microcode of my drive was also being updated. How do I control its escalation? Because the microcode of my drive was not upgraded when I upgraded from 9.1 to 9.3.

ONTAP versions come bundled with particular Platform updates (SP/BMC and BIOS), Shelf updates (IOM firmware), and Disk updates (firmware.) You can see which versions are included in specific ONTAP releases in ActiveIQ. For example, here is the table for ONTAP 9.3: https://aiq.netapp.com/system-firmware/major/9.3

Outside of ONTAP upgrades, you can manually download and update the Disk Qualification Pack which contains info on recommended disk firmware versions. For older versions of ONTAP such as 9.3, see https://mysupport.netapp.com/site/info/disk-qual#ontap9
