Use NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control UI to upgrade storage firmware
You can use the NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control UI to upgrade the firmware of the storage nodes in your cluster.
What you'll need
• If your management node is not connected to the internet, you have downloaded the package from the
relevant location:
◦ Storage firmware package for NetApp HCI storage clusters
◦ Storage firmware package for SolidFire storage clusters running Element software

For potential issues while upgrading storage clusters using NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control and
their workarounds, see the

The upgrade process takes approximately 30 minutes per node.
Steps
1. Open a web browser and browse to the IP address of the management node:
https://<ManagementNodeIP>
2. Log in to NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control by providing the storage cluster administrator credentials.
3. Click Upgrade near the top right of the interface.
4. On the Upgrades page, select Storage.
The Storage tab lists the storage clusters that are part of your installation. If a cluster is
inaccessible by NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control, it will not be displayed on the Upgrades
page. If you have clusters running Element 12.0 or later, you will see the current firmware
bundle version listed for these clusters. If the nodes in a single cluster have different
firmware versions on them or as the upgrade progresses, you will see Multiple in the
Current Firmware Bundle Version column. You can click Multiple to navigate to the

Nodes page to compare firmware versions. If all your clusters are running Element
versions earlier than 12.0, you will not see any information about firmware bundle
version numbers. This information is also available on the Nodes page. See
inventory.
If the cluster is up to date and/or no upgrade packages are available, the Element and
Firmware Only tabs are not displayed. These tabs are also not displayed when an
upgrade is in progress. If the Element tab is displayed, but not the Firmware Only tab,
no firmware packages are available.
5. Choose from the following options and perform the set of steps that are applicable to your cluster:
