BlueXP software updates has been renamed to software updates.

You can access it from the NetApp Console left navigation bar by selecting Health > Software updates.

The NetApp Console, built on the enhanced and restructured BlueXP foundation, provides centralized management of NetApp storage and NetApp Data Services across on-premises and cloud environments at enterprise grade—delivering real-time insights, faster workflows, and simplified administration, that is highly secure and compliant.

For details on what’s changed, see the NetApp Console release notes.

You now need one of the following access roles to install software updates: Organization admin, Folder or project admin, Storage admin, Storage viewer, or Storage health specialist. Users with the Storage viewer role have various permissions related to software updates, but cannot install software updates. Learn about BlueXP access roles.

In the summary section of BlueXP software updates, you can now view the total number of risks that can be mitigated by the operating system update. This allows users to assess the security and stability improvements on their installation base.

The BlueXP software updates service provides a seamless update experience to users by mitigating risks, and ensuring customers can fully leverage ONTAP features.
