Once you identified your disk and shelf firmware version of your environment, you can cross check with http://support.netapp.com/NOW/download/tools/diskfw/ site for latest disk-fw availability, if you don't have latest FW version you can upgrade your FW version.

For this case the disk model is "X412_S15K7560A15", so you need to compare by using this model from above web link.

For my case I already running latest disk FW so its require to upgrade FW until I get the new one.

12. NetApp Storage system automation using ssh and rsh commands

SSH is very much a secured protocol and a simple following statement states the need of SSH, rsh is a remote shell program that gives you a login connection on a remote machine. The protocol it uses passes your password in cleartext! Anyone sniffing the network between the two machins can capture your password.
ssh uses black-magic encryption to encode your datastreams so that only the two machines can understand each other. This is a great scheme provided you can trust both machines!

To make ssh/rsh to work for scripting the following steps should be followed/configured. Normally i use to run these type of scripts from DFM server

rsh.access host=xx.xx.xx.xx
rsh.enable on
trusted.hosts *
e.g.  rsh <filername/IP> <command> >> C:\log.txt

# rsh filer12 storage show disk -T
