What are the steps required to upgrade the ONTAP system bios using the diag user if I SCP them to the controllers? I have no access to a webserver to download the files from NetApp support.

you can run a webserver on your laptop by using python -m http.server 8080 in the directory where your ONTAP updates are

#

if you copy them to the cluster via scp, you should be able to use the file:// URI with the storage firmware download command

It’s going to require takeover/giveback/reboots. Why not just update ONTAP to a version that includes it?

#

just a guess, but sometimes there are newer BIOS versions available for download than what is included in ONTAP

Agreed. That is very rare that the bios component is not included in the “next” ONTAP version.
