download - install new version of Data ONTAP
download
download copies Data ONTAP executable files from the
/etc/boot directory to the filer's boot block on the disks
from which the filer boots.
To install a new version of Data ONTAP, extract the files
for the new release onto the filer from either a CIFS or an
NFS client that has write access to the filer's root directory.
For more information about how to install files for
the new release, see the upgrade instructions that accompany
each release.
After the filer reboots, you can verify the version of the
newly installed software with the version command.
When the filers are not in takeover mode, the download command
only applies to the filer on which you enter the command.
When the filers are in takeover mode, you can enter
the download command in partner mode on the live filer to
download the Data ONTAP executable files from the partner's
/etc/boot directory to the partner's disks. Under no circumstances
does it work for you to enter the download command
once to download the executable files to both filers in
a cluster. Therefore, when you upgrade the software on a
cluster, you must enter the download command on each filer
after installing the system files on each filer. This way,
both filers will reboot with the same Data ONTAP(tm) version.
