Before you upgrade ONTAP, you should confirm that your hardware configuration can support the target ONTAP release.
All configurations
Use NetApp Hardware Universe to confirm that your hardware platform and cluster and management switches are supported in the target ONTAP release. Cluster and management switches include the cluster network switches (NX-OS), management network switches (IOS), and reference configuration file (RCF). If your cluster and management switches are supported but are not running the minimum software versions required for the target ONTAP release, upgrade your switches to supported software versions.
|
If you need to upgrade your switches, NetApp recommends that you complete the ONTAP software upgrade first, then perform the software upgrade for your switches. |
MetroCluster configurations
Before you upgrade ONTAP, if you have a MetroCluster configuration, use the NetApp Interoperability Matrix Tool to confirm that your MetroCluster IP switches are supported in the target ONTAP release.
SAN configurations
Before you upgrade ONTAP, if your cluster is configured for SAN, use the NetApp Interoperability Matrix Tool to confirm that the SAN configuration is fully supported.
All SAN components—including the target ONTAP software version, host OS and patches, required Host Utilities software, multipathing software, and adapter drivers and firmware—should be supported.
