I've been using the ONTAP Boot Menu option 7 -
(7) Install new software first.
- for many years. Recently I was working with a colleague and found something out that will save loads of time. You can say "no" to "The node needs to reboot for this setting to take effect. Reboot now?" which saves you a reboot cycle. You don't need 2 reboots, just the one reboot once the new software has downloaded "The node must be rebooted to start using the newly installed software. Do you want to reboot now? {y|n} y".
Example output below:
Please choose one of the following:
(1) Normal Boot.
(2) Boot without /etc/rc.
(3) Change password.
(4) Clean configuration and initialize all disks.
(5) Maintenance mode boot.
(6) Update flash from backup config.
(7) Install new software first.
(8) Reboot node.
(9) Configure Advanced Drive Partitioning.
(10) Set Onboard Key Manager recovery secrets.
(11) Configure node for external key management.
Selection (1-11)? 7
This procedure is not supported for Non-Disruptive Upgrade on an HA pair. The software will be installed to the alternate image, from which the node is not currently running. Do you want to continue? {y|n} y
In order to download the package, a temporary network interface needs to be configured.

The node needs to reboot for this setting to take effect. Reboot now? {y|n} (selecting yes will return you automatically to this install wizard) n <--- SAY "n" HERE!
