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.
