NetApp NS0-593 Exam - Topic 4 Question 59 Discussion

Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-593 exam
Question #: 59
Topic #: 4
[All NS0-593 Questions]

Your customer installed the shelf firmware for their NS224 shelf over a week ago, and the firmware has not upgraded on shelf 1 module B. The customer wants to know what the next steps would be to get the firmware upgraded after verifying that the shelf firmware is indeed loaded onto the system.

Which step would you perform to complete the firmware upgrade?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The question refers to a scenario where the shelf firmware for an NS224 shelf has not been upgraded on one of the NVMe shelf modules (NSM) after a week of installation.

The NSM is responsible for managing the communication between the drives and the I/O modules (IOM) in the shelf1.

The shelf firmware for the NSM is automatically updated when the NSM is inserted into the shelf or when the system is rebooted2.

If the automatic update does not work, the manual update process involves reseating the NSM, which means removing it from the shelf and inserting it back3.

Reseating the NSM triggers the firmware update and also resets the NSM's state3.

The other options are not correct, because:

B)Reseating the disk in Bay 0 will not affect the NSM firmware update, as the disk is not connected to the NSM1.

C)Power cycling the shelf will disrupt the I/O operations and may cause data loss or corruption4.

D)Reseating the PSU of the shelf will not affect the NSM firmware update, as the PSU is not connected to the NSM1.Reference:

I thought the firmware upgrade was automatic once loaded.

Wait, why would you reseat the PSU? That sounds risky!

Reseating the NSM100 module might work too, but not sure.

I vaguely recall that reseating the NSM100 module was mentioned in our practice questions, but I can't remember if it was specifically for firmware upgrades.

I remember something about reseating components, but I'm not sure if it's the NSM100 module or the PSU that needs to be reseated first.

Power cycling the shelf is definitely the way I'd go. That should get everything synced up and the firmware updated across all the modules.

I'm a bit unsure on this one. Reseating the NSM100 module or the disk in Bay 0 could also potentially help, but a power cycle seems like the most straightforward option to try first.

Power cycling the shelf sounds like a good idea to me. That should force the firmware to update on the one module that's lagging behind.

Okay, let's see here. The firmware is already loaded on the system, so I'm thinking a power cycle of the shelf might be the way to go to get it to upgrade on that one module.

Hold up, what if the shelf just doesn't like the firmware? Maybe we need to try a different version or something.
