Using the Upgrade Utility

About the Upgrade Utility

The Data ONTAP Upgrade Utility is a Perl script that allows you to upgrade storage systems from UNIX or Windows clients. The script is also available in executable form for Windows clients. The utility is especially useful if you do not have Common Internet File System (CIFS) or Network File System (NFS) licensed--for example, on a storage system serving only Fiber Channel Protocol (FCP)--and the conventional methods for copying system files to the storage system are not available.

Note
You must be running Java on the storage system to use the Upgrade Utility.
