Use the information and procedures in this section if you want to revert your gFiler from Data ONTAP 6.5.1 to 6.5 or 6.5Rx.
Features introduced in Data ONTAP 6.5--SnapMover, SyncMirror, and MetroCluster--are not affected by a reversion from 6.5.1 to 6.5 (or 6.5Rx). Therefore, you do not have to disable them before you revert a gFiler to 6.5 (or 6.5Rx).
If you installed 6.5.1 on a cluster, you can revert just one of the cluster partners to 6.5 (or 6.5Rx) if desired. You cannot, however, revert one cluster member to a Data ONTAP version prior to 6.5.
To revert to an earlier 6.5 version of Data ONTAP when a gFiler is not a member of a cluster, complete the following steps.
| 1 |
Obtain the system files from the CD-ROM or from the NOW Web site, as described in Chapter 3, Upgrading Data ONTAP on the gFiler. |
| 2 |
Transfer the system files onto the gFiler using either the UNIX NFS or Windows method described in Installing Data ONTAP system files. |
| 3 | |
| 4 |
To revert to an earlier version of Data ONTAP 6.5 for gFilers in a cluster, complete the following steps.
| 1 |
Obtain the system files from the CD-ROM or from the NOW Web site, as described in Chapter 3, Upgrading Data ONTAP on the gFiler. |
| 2 |
Transfer the system files onto one gFiler in the cluster using either the UNIX NFS or Windows method described in Installing Data ONTAP system files. |
| 3 |
Disable the cluster by entering the following command at the console of one of the gFilers: |
| 4 | |
| 5 | |
| 6 |
On the partner in the gFiler cluster, follow Steps 1 through 5. |
| 7 |
Reenable the cluster by entering the following command on one of the gFilers: |
