You can upgrade an existing ONTAP Select Deploy utility virtual machine in-place using the ONTAP Select Deploy utility CLI.

Before you begin

Make sure that ONTAP Select Deploy is not used to perform any other tasks during the upgrade. See the current release notes for information and restrictions about upgrading the ONTAP Select Deploy utility.

Note

If you have an older instance of the ONTAP Select Deploy administration utility installed, you should upgrade to the current release. The ONTAP Select node and ONTAP Select Deploy component are upgraded independently. See Upgrade the ONTAP Select nodes for further details.

You can upgrade ONTAP Select Deploy 9.17.1 from ONTAP Select Deploy 9.16.1 or 9.15.1. To upgrade from ONTAP Select Deploy 9.14.1 or earlier, review the release notes for your ONTAP Select version.

Step 1: Download the package

To begin the upgrade process, download the appropriate ONTAP Select Deploy virtual machine upgrade file from the NetApp Support Site. The upgrade package is formatted as a single compressed file.

Steps

  1. Access the NetApp Support Site using a web browser and choose Downloads from the Downloads menu.

  2. Scroll down and select ONTAP Select Deploy Upgrade.

  3. Select the desired release of the upgrade package.

  4. Review the End User License Agreement (EULA) and select Accept & Continue.

  5. Select and download the appropriate package, responding to all prompts as needed for your environment.

Step 2: Upload the package to the ONTAP Select Deploy virtual machine

After you download the package, you need to upload the file to the ONTAP Select Deploy virtual machine.

About this task

This task describes one method for uploading the file to the ONTAP Select Deploy virtual machine. There might be other options more suitable for your environment.

Before you begin

  • Verify that the upgrade file is available on your local workstation.

  • Verify that you have the password for the administrator user account.

Steps

  1. In a command shell on your local workstation, use the scp (Secure Copy Protocol) utility to upload the image file to the ONTAP Select Deploy virtual machine.

    Example
    scp ONTAPdeploy2.12_upgrade.tar.gz admin@10.228.162.221:/home/admin (provide password when prompted)
Result

The upgrade file is stored in the home directory of the admin user.

Step 3: Apply the upgrade package

After you upload the upgrade file to the ONTAP Select Deploy virtual machine, you can apply the upgrade.

Before you begin

  • Verify which directory the upgrade file has been placed in at the ONTAP Select Deploy utility virtual machine.

  • Verify that ONTAP Select Deploy is not used to perform any other tasks while the upgrade is performed.

Steps

  1. Sign in to the ONTAP Select Deploy utility CLI using SSH with the administrator account.

  2. Perform the upgrade using the appropriate directory path and file name:

    deploy upgrade -package-path FILEPATH

    Example
    deploy upgrade -package-path /home/admin/ONTAPdeploy2.12_upgrade.tar.gz
After you finish

Before the upgrade procedure completes, you are asked to create a backup of the ONTAP Select Deploy virtual machine configuration. Also, you should clear the browser cache so you can view the newly created ONTAP Select Deploy pages.
