How to Upgrade a Rack PDU with Network Port Sharing (NPS) Using the SNS Tool?
Question:
How can I upgrade a Rack PDU that is part of a Network Port Sharing (NPS) group?
Product Line:
Rack PDUs with Network Management Card 3 (NMC3)
Environment:
All models. All Serial Numbers.
Answer:
If the Rack PDU is configured as part of a Network Port Sharing (NPS) group, the firmware upgrade cannot currently be performed using the standard SNS tool.
Instead, customers must use the Secure NMC System (SNS) Tool for NPS-enabled Rack PDUs, which is specifically designed to support devices that are part of an NPS group.

Note: Enhanced support for NPS setups is on the roadmap for the standard SNS Tool. For now, the dedicated NPS-enabled SNS Tool provides the recommended and fully supported method for upgrading PDUs that belong to NPS groups.
