download - install new version of Data ONTAP
download
download copies Data ONTAP executable files from /etc/boot
into the filer's boot block from which the system boots.
To install a new version of Data ONTAP, first install the
files for the new release onto the filer. You can move the
files from either a CIFS or an NFS client that has Administrator
(root) access to the filer's root directory. (However,
the procedures differ, depending on the client from
which you are working. The files that you transfer must be
appropriate to the filer's processor, for example Intel or
Alpha.)
For examples and a discussion of the entire installation
procedure, see the current ``System Administrator's Guide''
and/or the ``Read Me First'' document that accompanies an
upgrade of the system software.
After the filer has rebooted, the version of the newly
installed software can be verified with the version command
(see na_version(1)).
