In the following post I’ll review the methods and
essential commands for doing an upgrade from Clustered Data ONTAP 8.3.1.
Specifically, we’re going to Clustered Data ONTAP 8.3.2P5 in the examples below.
Note: In real world situations consult
Upgrade Advisor from AutoSupport.
In the lab, I have a HA-pair running 8.3.1.
Method 1:
Automated Non-Disruptive Upgrade via OnCommand System Manager GUI
1) Log into OnCommand System Manager for the Cluster
containing the HA-pair(s) that you want to upgrade
2) Expand the Cluster pane
3) Expand the Cluster object
4) Click on “Cluster
Update”
5) Follow through the wizard
- first adding the update Software Image
- then Validate
- and finally Update

Method 2:
Cluster Image commands
From the Clustershell::>
cluster
image show
cluster
image package show-repository
cluster
image package get -url http://192.168.0.5:8080/832P5_q_image.tgz
The above triggers a “software get” on each node in the
cluster.
cluster
image package show-repository
cluster
image validate -version 8.3.2P5
Once the validation has completed, review any warnings,
and when ready to proceed, continue.
cluster
image update -version 8.3.2P5
cluster
image show-update-progress
cluster
image show
Method 3: Old
School Method (still used for Major Upgrades) - System Node Image commands
system
node image show
system
node image get -node * -package http://10.0.0.1/832P5_q_image.tgz -background
true
system
node image show-update-progress -node NODENAME
system
node image update -node * -package 832P5_q_image.tgz -background true
system
node image show-update-progress -node NODENAME
system
node image show
system
node image modify {-iscurrent false} -isdefault true
system
node image show
storage
failover show
cluster
show
storage
failover takeover -ofnode NODE1
storage
failover show-takeover
Wait until the node is waiting for giveback.
storage
failover giveback -ofnode NODE1
storage
failover show-giveback
Wait until each node says “No aggregates to give back”
cluster
show
storage
failover takeover -ofnode NODE2
storage
failover show-takeover
Wait until the node is waiting for giveback.
storage
failover giveback -ofnode NODE2
storage
failover show-giveback
Wait until each node says “No aggregates to give back”.
Verify the cluster version has updated:
