PLAY [ONTAP Firmware Upgrade] ****************************************************************
    Note If there are a set of clusters with different login credentials, the Ansible Playbook must be run on each cluster. There are no changes required to the inventory file as the Ansible Playbook skips the clusters for which the login has failed.

For more information about the ansible-playbook command, refer to the Ansible Playbook Documentation and to execute the Ansible Playbook in check mode (dry run), refer to Ansible: Check mode.

After executing the playbook, refer to the Firmware Installation Validations for post-execution instructions.
