How to upgrade
Upgrades of Cloud Volumes ONTAP must be completed from the Console. You should not upgrade Cloud Volumes ONTAP by using System Manager or the CLI. Doing so can impact system stability.
Supported upgrade path
You can upgrade to Cloud Volumes ONTAP 9.19.1 RC from 9.18.1 in only Google Cloud. The Console will prompt you to upgrade eligible Cloud Volumes ONTAP systems to this release.

In AWS and Azure, you won't be prompted for an upgrade to 9.19.1 RC because this version is unavailable for deployment and upgrade for these cloud providers. |
Downtime
-
The upgrade of a single-node system takes the system offline for up to 25 minutes, during which I/O is interrupted.
-
Upgrading an HA pair is non-disruptive and I/O is uninterrupted. During this non-disruptive upgrade process, each node is upgraded in tandem to continue serving I/O to clients.
