#

should work with node, disk, shelf, sp, etc

Thanks TyMercer! We noticed it doesn't support BIOS upgrade

#

what type of system do you have

#

the BIOS should be updated when the newest version of ONTAP is installed, if there is an actual BIOS update available.
Unless something has changed recently

FAS 8200 / 8300 running 9.7

hrm. might be because in order to manually update just the BIOS it requires you to do it from the LOADER prompt, which isn't available via ansible

One may be able to fashion a playbook around using the na_ontap_ssh_command_module
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/netapp/ontap/na_ontap_ssh_command_module.html#ansible-collections-netapp-ontap-na-ontap-ssh-command-module
As it allows using the SP:

Not though that a successful execution of a command does not mean that the results of the command indicate a success. You'll have to parse the CLI output yourself.

na_ontap_ssh_command is tricky to manage these. It will say changed for any execution because of limitations
