Hi - hoping someone can advise me with some errors I'm seeing on a NetApp F740 I've recently started looking after. I don't really know any of the history of the filer other than that OnTap 6.5.6 has recently been installed.

NetApp F740 Ontap 6.5.6 3 fully populated disk shelves

In the messages file it constantly reports: Thu Jun 22 07:00:00 GMT [statd:warning]: *** Disk 3.41 has downrev firmware. Please update it. Thu Jun 22 07:00:00 GMT [statd:warning]: *** Disk 3.42 has downrev firmware. Please update it. Thu Jun 22 07:00:00 GMT [statd:warning]: *** Disk 3.43 has downrev firmware. Please update it.

Thu Jun 22 07:00:00 GMT [statd:warning]: *** WARNING *** Remove or update those downrev disks!! Thu Jun 22 07:00:00 GMT [monitor.downRevDisks:warning]: Downrev disks still present!!

This is for a total of 8 disks out of 3 shelves. And from an older messages file I found one of these entries for each disk above:

"Unable to download firmware to Disk 3.41 [SEAGATE ST318203FC NA13]"

Looking in the /etc/disk_fw folder I can see that the latest "ST318203FC.NA13.LOD" firmware file is there and the NetApp documentation states that for OnTap 6.1 and later, disk drive firmware is automatically updated during bootup or when a disk is added to the system.

Any help would be appreciated before I go rebooting, trying to update manually ... if that's possible as in earlier versions etc. or trying anything else.

Thanks in advance - Julian.
