  • validate_only - Required to validate a software package before an upgrade.

  • skip_warnings - Used to skip validation warnings when starting a software upgrade.

  • action - Used to pause, resume, or cancel an ongoing software upgrade.

  • stabilize_minutes - Specifies a custom value between 1 to 60 minutes that allows each node a specified amount of time to stabilize after a reboot; the default is 8 minutes.

  • estimate_only - Estimates the time duration; does not perform any update.

  • nodes_to_update - Specifies a subset of the cluster's nodes for update.

Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

skip_warnings

boolean

query

False

Ignore warnings and proceed with the install.

action

string

query

False

Requests an upgrade to pause, resume, or cancel. Note that not all upgrades support these actions. An upgrade can only be resumed if it is in the paused state. When a request to cancel an upgrade is successful, the upgrade state changes to either success or failure.

  • enum: ["pause", "resume", "cancel"]

stabilize_minutes

integer

query

False

Sets a custom value between 1 to 60 minutes for the upgrade, allowing each node a specified amount of time to stabilize after a reboot.

  • Introduced in: 9.8

estimate_only

boolean

query

False

Generates an estimate of the time required for the overall update operation for the specified package. No update is performed when this option is used. The default is false.

  • Introduced in: 9.9

force_rolling

boolean

query

False

Forces a rolling upgrade on the cluster. This option is not applicable for a single-node cluster and for a two-node MetroCluster. The default is false.

  • Introduced in: 9.9

nodes_to_update

string

query

False

A comma separated list of node names to be updated. The nodes must be a part of a HA Pair. The default is all nodes.

  • Introduced in: 9.9

pause_after

string

query

False

The pause after specified tasks option. When ANDU is paused user interaction is required to resume the update. The default is none.

  • Introduced in: 9.9

  • enum: ["none", "takeover_giveback", "all"]

return_records

boolean

query

False

The default is false. If set to true, the records are returned.

  • Default value:

return_timeout

integer

query

False

The number of seconds to allow the call to execute before returning. When doing a POST, PATCH, or DELETE operation on a single record, the default is 0 seconds. This means that if an asynchronous operation is started, the server immediately returns HTTP code 202 (Accepted) along with a link to the job. If a non-zero value is specified for POST, PATCH, or DELETE operations, ONTAP waits that length of time to see if the job completes so it can return something other than 202.

  • Default value: 0

  • Max value: 120

  • Min value: 0

validate_only

boolean

query

False

Validate the operation and its parameters, without actually performing the operation.
