When you upgrade your ONTAP software on your ASA r2 system, you can take advantage of new and enhanced ONTAP features that can help you reduce costs, accelerate critical workloads, improve security, and expand the scope of data protection available to your organization.
ONTAP software upgrades for ASA r2 systems follow the same process as upgrades for other ONTAP systems. It is recommended that you get stared by preparing for your upgrade with Upgrade Advisor in Active IQ Digital Advisor or Upgrade Health Checker.
After you prepare for your upgrade, it is recommended that you perform upgrades using automated non-disruptive upgrade (ANDU) from System Manager. ANDU takes advantage of ONTAP’s high-availability (HA) failover technology to ensure that clusters continue to serve data without interruption during the upgrade.
