5. (Optional) Confirm upgraded firmware versions for each component:
a. Open the hardware service REST API UI on the management node:
https://[management node IP]/hardware/2/
b. Click Authorize and complete the following:
i. Enter the cluster user name and password.
ii. Enter the client ID as mnode-client.
iii. Click Authorize to begin a session.
iv. Close the authorization window.
c. From the REST API UI, click GET /nodes/{hardware_id}/upgrades.
d. (Optional) Enter date and status parameters to filter the results.
e. Enter the hardware host asset ID
f. Click Try it out.
g. Click Execute.
h. Verify in the response that firmware for all components has been successfully upgraded from the
previous version to the latest firmware.
Use a USB drive imaged with the latest compute node firmware bundle ISO
You can insert a USB drive with the latest compute node firmware ISO downloaded to a USB port on the
compute node. As an alternative to using the USB thumb drive method described in this procedure, you can
mount the ISO on the compute node using the Virtual CD/DVD option in the Virtual Console in the Baseboard
Management Controller (BMC) interface. The BMC method takes considerably longer than the USB thumb
drive method. Ensure that your workstation or server has the necessary network bandwidth and that your
browser session with the BMC does not time out.
Steps
1. Browse to the NetApp software downloads
version of NetApp HCI.
2. Accept the End User License Agreement.
3. Under the Compute and Storage Nodes section, download the compute node image.
4. Use the Etcher utility to flash the compute node firmware ISO to a USB drive.
5. Place the compute node in maintenance mode using VMware vCenter, and evacuate all virtual machines
from the host.
If VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) is enabled on the cluster (this is the

default in NetApp HCI installations), virtual machines will automatically be migrated to
other nodes in the cluster.
6. Insert the USB thumb drive into a USB port on the compute node and reboot the compute node using
VMware vCenter.
