You can boot the current release or the backup release of ONTAP when you are at the boot environment prompt of a node.
Steps
- Access the boot environment prompt from the storage system prompt by using the system node halt command.
The storage system console displays the boot environment prompt.
- At the boot environment prompt, enter one of the following commands:
| To boot... |
Enter... |
|---|
|
The current release of ONTAP
|
boot_ontap |
|
The ONTAP primary image from the boot device
|
boot_primary |
|
The ONTAP backup image from the boot device
|
boot_backup |
If you are unsure about which image to use, you should use boot_ontap in the first instance.
