As a storage administrator, you can update AI Data Engine (AIDE) software, data compute node (DCN) firmware, and other system files on your AIDE system using ONTAP System Manager.
AIDE does not support ONTAP automatic software updates functionality. You can sign up to receive notifications from NetApp Support Site downloads, but all updates of AIDE software are performed manually by the admin.
The combined AI Data Engine software package is significantly larger than a typical ONTAP update package (AIDE package is approximately 40GB). Plan for longer upload and installation times when updating AIDE software.
