There have been some firmware issues recently (just deleted the mails already, but I’ve got one from the past):
https://kb.netapp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/1073782
When something like this happens, then these firmware files are _NOT_ integrated into the all.zip f.ex. immediately and there also was no Ontap update within a short period of time after these
firmware updates have been released.

Subject: RE: all.zip and all_shelf_fw.zip most current versions
Almost 99% of the time it seems like those fw releases are b/c of a new drive being released, e.g. latest NVMe drives, etc. My advice for how to stay on top of fw for drives and everything else really is to keep on
top of patching ONTAP since the FW bundles are now included (and have been for some time) in the ONTAP upgrade packages.

Yah, in this specific case, you’re right – but I recall from the past, that the comiled all*.zip files did not always contain the most recent firmware.

Subject: all.zip and all_shelf_fw.zip most current versions
Hey,
I’m interested in the ways people keep their firmware updated on their filers. On the support website, you can download all.zip and all_shelf_fw.zip, but they are most of the time not recent enough, so f.ex. today I could download all.zip
from 10-APR-19 and there is more recent firmware for quite some disks dated with 17-May-19.
Does anyone know if there is a public/private URL where I can download a „nightly“ build or something like this for all.zip?
Or is there any URL/FTP/etc. (without having to parse the download website with some selenium scripts or something like that) that I could use to mirror all the firmware files to one of my servers and create the zip file there?
Best,
