Upgrading ONTAP in a SAN environment changes which paths are direct. Before you upgrade a SAN cluster, you should verify that each host is configured with the correct number of direct and indirect paths, and that each host is connected to the correct LIFs.
Steps
-
On each host, verify that a sufficient number of direct and indirect paths are configured, and that each path is active.
Each host must have a path to each node in the cluster.
-
Verify that each host is connected to a LIF on each node.
You should record the list of initiators for comparison after the upgrade.
