Creating your file...
Beginning with ONTAP 9.2, you can use the ONTAP CLI to perform an automated update of a single-node cluster. Because single-node clusters lack redundancy, updates are always disruptive. Disruptive upgrades cannot be performed using System Manager.
-
You must have satisfied upgrade preparation requirements.
-
Delete the previous ONTAP software package:
cluster image package delete -version previous_package_version
-
Download the target ONTAP software package:
cluster image package get -url location
cluster1::> cluster image package get -url http://www.example.com/software/9.7/image.tgz Package download completed. Package processing completed.
-
Verify that the software package is available in the cluster package repository:
cluster image package show-repository
cluster1::> cluster image package show-repository Package Version Package Build Time ---------------- ------------------ 9.7 M/DD/YYYY 10:32:15
-
Verify that the cluster is ready to be upgraded:
cluster image validate -version package_version_number
cluster1::> cluster image validate -version 9.7 WARNING: There are additional manual upgrade validation checks that must be performed after these automated validation checks have completed...
-
Monitor the progress of the validation:
cluster image show-update-progress
-
Complete all required actions identified by the validation.
-
Optionally, generate a software upgrade estimate:
cluster image update -version package_version_number -estimate-only
The software upgrade estimate displays details about each component to be updated, and the estimated duration of the upgrade.
-
Perform the software upgrade:
cluster image update -version package_version_number
If an issue is encountered, the update pauses and prompts you to take corrective action. You can use the cluster image show-update-progress command to view details about any issues and the progress of the update. After correcting the issue, you can resume the update by using the cluster image resume-update command. -
Display the cluster update progress:
cluster image show-update-progress
The node is rebooted as part of the update and cannot be accessed while rebooting.
-
Trigger a notification:
autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message "Finishing_Upgrade"
If your cluster is not configured to send messages, a copy of the notification is saved locally.
