API for Disk Drive & Firmware Updates

whentimeslows — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:10:49 GMT

Hi all,

I'm looking to automate the download and update for Disk Firmware updates. Is there an api available to grab firmware revisions and download links from?

Thanks,

Scott

I am not aware of any API call to automate the update of firmware but Ansible may provide the functionality you need.

Update your AFF and FAS firmware usingAnsible Playbook

Active IQ's API can help you determine which systems need a firmware update and then generate a custom Ansible playbook for you. See the documentation here:

https://activeiq.netapp.com/catalog/internal/api-reference/activeiq-public/firmware-upgrade

Please note: You need a certain support contract level to access the custom Ansible scripts (Advisor, Expert, or the Active IQ uplift support add-on).
