Hi Community,
I have taken over a FAS3140 from another department. There were different Ontap versions installed so I installed 8.2.4 on both heads.
There is no cluster license. Only nfs. Therefor cf is disabled.
Is it possible to run a disk firmware update with cf disabled? If yes how can I do this?
I have searched this site, several documents but found nothing.
Best regards

Solved! See The Solution
Hi @all,
raid.background_disk_fw_update.enable and raid.disk.background_fw_update.raid4.enable are set to on.
Meanwhile I have a solution for my problem.
Additionally to cf disable I have set options cf.mode to non_ha.
I then got a message to remove the partner unit and reboot to get NVRAM normaly working.
As I only need one head I have removed the other had from the box. After reboot of the remaining head the firmware update is working. Even automatically
Thanks for help.
Best regards

Hi,
Refer https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196990/html/GUID-27435825-BAB3-4594-A886-2BC8C1E21EDB.html to update disk firmware.
Hi @all,
thank you for the feedback.
I know that after a Ontap update/upgrade there is a process which is automatically start the firmware update.
But this is not working in my environment.
The system is recognizing that a firmware update of the disks is necessary but it is not working.
In the messages log I see
Fri Jul 22 08:00:00 GMT [netapp-01:disk.fw.downrevWarning:warning]: 13 disks have downrev firmware that you need to update.
When I enter the disk_fw_update command nothing happens.
The necessary firmware files are in the /etc/disk_fw directory.
Best regards

When I try to update the disk firmware manually after a reboot I got

I guess HA interconnect error 19 has something to do with a mailbox disk. I have not found a documentation how to fix this.
Hi
What are the values of the options:
raid.background_disk_fw_update.enable
and
raid.disk.background_fw_update.raid4.enable
please?
If these are set to "off" then auto-updating won't happen.
Regards,
Richard.
