NetApp Exam NS0-593 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:

Wait, does the shelf come with a 'Firmware Upgrade' button? I always look for the easy way out!

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

Resetting the NSM100 module in A) seems like the most logical step to me. That's where the firmware is likely getting stuck.

I'd try D) Reseat the PSU first. Might be a power issue preventing the upgrade from completing.

Hmm, I think C) Power cycle the shelf is the way to go. That should force the firmware to load properly.
