Accessing the Flash Boot Commands

As the storage system boots, the special boot menu allows you to control the booting sequence
Boot Menu will be available. Please choose one of the following:

(1) Normal Boot. (2) Boot without /etc/rc. (3) Change password. (4) Clean configuration and initialize all disks. (5) Maintenance mode boot. (6) Update flash from backup config. (7) Install new software first. (8) Reboot node. Selection (1-8)?

Boot Sequence
As the storage system boots, if you do not press Ctrl-C (or you select Normal boot), the system:
1. Loads the Data ONTAP kernel into physical memory from a CompactFlash Card 2. Checks the root volume on the physical disk

Boot Sequence (Cont.)

As the storage system boots and the Data ONTAP kernel is loaded, it reads-in the following configuration and system files from the /etc directory
/etc/rc file (boot initialization) /etc/registry file (option configurations) /etc/hosts file (local name resolution)

Single System Upgrade Steps

1. Review your current system hardware and licenses
2. Review all necessary documentation including: Data ONTAP Upgrade Guide and Data ONTAP Release Notes for the destination version of Data ONTAP

Review the NOW Bugs Online site for any known installation and upgrade problems
3. Obtain the Data ONTAP upgrade image 4. Generate an AutoSupport e-mail 5. Install the software and download the new version to the CompactFlash card 6. Reboot the system

7. Verify the install

2009 NetApp. All rights reserved.

Single System Upgrade

Step 1: Review your current system hardware and licenses:
Use the sysconfig a command to display a hardware inventory of the system Use the version command to check your version of Data ONTAP and version b to check the current version of firmware Use the license command to see your current licenses

Step 2: Review all necessary documentation
including: Data ONTAP Upgrade Guide and Data ONTAP Release Notes for the destination version of Data ONTAP Review the NOW Bugs Online site for any known installation and upgrade problems

2009 NetApp. All rights reserved.

Single System Upgrade (Cont.)

Step 3: Obtain the Data ONTAP upgrade image for the appropriate storage system

2009 NetApp. All rights reserved.

ZIP or TGZ
NetApp is releasing two different formats of Data ONTAP 8.0:
ZIP is used when upgrading from Data ONTAP 7.3 TGZ is used when doing a fresh install or when performing incremental updates after Data ONTAP 8.0

Single System Upgrade (Cont.)

Step 4: Generate an AutoSupport e-mail
system> options autosupport.doit starting_upgrade_from_7.3_to_8.0

NOTE: This step is not necessary because since Data ONTAP 7.2.4, the notification is sent automatically

Single System Upgrade (Cont.)

Step 5: Use the software command to install the software and download the new version to the CompactFlash card:
From the storage system prompt, enter the command to extract and install Data ONTAP system files from the upgrade package
system> software update http://10.254.134.39/image.zip -d -r

The download command can take a considerable amount of time to run. It can take as long as 60 minutes to complete
system> download

+20 mins

Verify compact flash is updated

system> version -b

Single System Upgrade (Cont.)

Step 6: Reboot the system
Use the reboot command to halt a system and automatically reboot it: system> reboot [t interval] Use the halt command to shut down a storage system and boot at the firmware prompt: system> halt [t interval] CFE or LOADER> boot_ontap

Step 7: Verify the install

Administrators can use the version command or sysconfig to verify the new version of Data ONTAP that is running
