Install FASTPATH software

Contributors netapp-yvonneo

When you install the FASTPATH software on your NetApp switches, you must begin the upgrade with the second switch, cs2.

Steps

  1. If AutoSupport is enabled on this cluster, suppress automatic case creation by invoking an AutoSupport message:

    system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all - message MAINT=xh

    x is the duration of the maintenance window in hours.

    Note The AutoSupport message notifies technical support of this maintenance task so that automatic case creation is suppressed during the maintenance window.

  2. Log into the switch as admin. There is no password by default. At the (cs2) # prompt, enter the enable command. Again, there is no password by default. This gives you access to Privileged EXEC mode, which allows you to configure the network interface.

    (cs2) # enable
Password (Enter)
(cs2) #

  3. On the console of each node, migrate clus2 to port e1a: network interface migrate

    cluster::*> network interface migrate -vserver vs1 -lif clus2 -source-node node1 -destnode node1 -dest-port e1a
cluster::*> network interface migrate -vserver vs2 -lif clus2 -source-node node2 -destnode node2 -dest-port e1a

  4. On the console of each node, verify that the migration took place: network interface show

    The following example shows that clus2 has migrated to port e1a on both nodes:

    cluster::*> network interface show -role cluster

         Logical    Status     Network        Current  Current  Is
Vserver  Interface  Admin/Open Address/Mask   Node     Port     Home
-------- ---------- ---------- -------------- -------- -------  ----
vs1
         clus1      up/up      10.10.10.1/16  node1    e1a      true
         clus2      up/up      10.10.10.2/16  node1    e1a      false
vs2
         clus1      up/up      10.10.10.1/16  node2    e1a      true
         clus2      up/up      10.10.10.2/16  node2    e1a      false

  5. Shut down cluster port e2a on both nodes: network port modify

    The following example shows port e2a being shut down on both nodes:

    cluster::*> network port modify -node node1 -port e2a -up-admin false
cluster::*> network port modify -node node2 -port e2a -up-admin false

  6. Verify that port e2a is shut down on both nodes: network port show

    cluster::*> network port show -role cluster

                                 Auto-Negot  Duplex      Speed (Mbps)
Node   Port Role     Link MTU    Admin/Oper  Admin/Oper  Admin/Oper
------ ---- -------- ---- -----  ----------  ----------  ------------
node1
       e1a  cluster  up   9000   true/true   full/full   auto/10000
       e2a  cluster  down 9000   true/true   full/full   auto/10000
node2
       e1a  cluster  up   9000   true/true   full/full   auto/10000
       e2a  cluster  down 9000   true/true   full/full   auto/10000

  7. Shut down the Inter-Switch Link (ISL) ports on cs1, the active NetApp switch:

    (cs1) # configure
(cs1)(config) # interface 0/13-0/16
(cs1)(Interface 0/13-0/16) # shutdown
(cs1)(Interface 0/13-0/16) # exit
(cs1)(config) # exit

  8. Back up the current active image on cs2.

    (cs2) # show bootvar

(cs2) # copy active backup
Copying active to backup

(cs2) #

  9. Download the image file to the switch.

    Copying the image file to the active image means that when you reboot, that image establishes the running FASTPATH version. The previous image remains available as a backup.

    (cs2) # copy tftp://10.0.0.1/NetApp_CN1610_1.1.0.5.stk active

  10. Verify the running version of the FASTPATH software.

    (cs2) # show version

  13. Log in again, and verify the new version of the FASTPATH software.

    (cs2) # show version

  14. Bring up the ISL ports on cs1, the active switch.

    (cs1) # configure
(cs1) (config) # interface 0/13-0/16
(cs1) (Interface 0/13-0/16) # no shutdown
(cs1) (Interface 0/13-0/16) # exit
(cs1) (config) # exit

  15. Verify that the ISLs are operational: show port-channel 3/1

    The Link State field should indicate Up.

    (cs2) # show port-channel 3/1

Local Interface................................ 3/1

       partner/long
0/16   actor/long    10G Full  True
       partner/long

  16. Copy the running-config file to the startup-config file when you are satisfied with the software versions and switch settings.

    (cs2) # write memory

This operation may take a few minutes.
Management interfaces will not be available during this time.

Are you sure you want to save? (y/n) y

Config file 'startup-config' created successfully .

Configuration Saved!

  17. Enable the second cluster port, e2a, on each node: network port modify

    cluster::*> network port modify -node node1 -port e2a -up-admin true
cluster::*> **network port modify -node node2 -port e2a -up-admin true**

  18. Revert clus2 that is associated with port e2a: network interface revert

    The LIF might revert automatically, depending on your version of ONTAP software.

    cluster::*> network interface revert -vserver Cluster -lif n1_clus2
cluster::*> network interface revert -vserver Cluster -lif n2_clus2

  19. Verify that the LIF is now home (true) on both nodes: network interface show -role cluster

    cluster::*> network interface show -role cluster

          Logical    Status     Network        Current  Current Is

          clus1      up/up      10.10.10.1/24  node1    e1a     true
          clus2      up/up      10.10.10.2/24  node1    e2a     true
vs2
          clus1      up/up      10.10.10.1/24  node2    e1a     true
          clus2      up/up      10.10.10.2/24  node2    e2a     true

  20. View the status of the nodes: cluster show

    cluster::> cluster show

Node                 Health  Eligibility
-------------------- ------- ------------
node1                true    true
node2                true    true

  21. Repeat step 1 through step 18 to upgrade the FASTPATH software on the other switch, cs1.

  22. If you suppressed automatic case creation, re-enable it by invoking an AutoSupport message:

    system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message MAINT=END
