Update ONTAP on MetroCluster clusters
Contributors
This topic provides a high-level overview of the process for upgrading an ONTAP cluster from ONTAP 9.7 or higher to a later version of ONTAP 9 using the System Manager interface.
If you need information about any other ONTAP cluster upgrade scenario, go here.
You can use System Manager to upgrade both clusters in a MetroCluster configuration to a newer version of ONTAP. During the upgrade, the storage service remains online.
-
Upload the ONTAP image using a local drive or from an HTTP server on both clusters of the MetroCluster configuration.
-
Log in to System Manager.
-
Select Cluster > Update.
The ONTAP Update window displays a list of images that are available to upload.
-
Hover over any image name that you do NOT want to upload, and click the trash can icon.
-
Select the radio button next to the image name that you want to update, and click Update.
-
Wait for the system to validate the images.
When the images are successfully validated, the update process begins to install a new version of ONTAP on both clusters.
You can click Pause at any time to pause the updating process.
-
When the update process is completed, click Relaunch System Manager.
