How To Update NetApp Filler DOT Version from 8.0 to 8.1

Storage upgrade is always a big and tricky task for storage engineers. So in this writeup I am going to share the procedure to succesfull upgrade of DOT version from 8.0 to 8.1 and I believe this procedure will help you to upgrade any DOT version of Any netapp storage product for fas32xx and fas62xx.In my scenario the storage is fas6240 and has been provisioned to other unix based servers. you can follow the same step if you going to upgrade your brand new storage you will be needed below mention softwares:


  • Putty or some thing like putty
  • Correct Ontap Version from NetApp 
  • winScp
And Console cable to connect storage because in upgrade the storage disconnect from LAN.

Here is the procedure to upgrade ontap from 8.0 to 8.1

1) Connect the laptop with the serial to console port of the 1st filer1 and also connect with the front end port e0a of the same filer through your laptop lan card.

2) Disable cf if is it enabled. filer1 > 
cf disable (Note: Cf status must show that cf is disabled otherwise filer will go in takeover mode which you dont want)

3) Logon to your other server which is connected to Storage or in same network in my case I used my DB server. Mount the /vol/vol0 volume as a nfs share on your server to the mountpoint /mnt.

#mount <serverIp>:/vol/vol0 /mnt

4) After mounting on the server go inside the directory 
cd /mnt/etc on your  server

5) Create a directory inside /mnt/etc by the name of software. 
mkdir software

6) 
chmod 775 software

7) copy the 8.1 upgrade source to the nfs share mount point on the server through winscp like /mnt/etc/software.

8) now logon to the filer1 whose /vol/vol0 you have mounted on the db server.

9) type the command on filer1> 
software list (it should show the software package that needs to be updated)

10) type the command on filer1> 
software update package-name or software update package-name -d -r (-d: download , -r reboot) 

11) Reboot the filer or it will do it by itself depending on the flags -d,-r are given or not at step 10

12) After the reboot is complete check the version of the filer > version (it should be 8.1.0p1).

Now Repeat the same steps (1-12) on filer2.

After Successfully upgrading both the filers.


13) cf enable on any 1 filer1.
(Note: DO NOT RUN THIS COMMAND ON BOTH THE FILERS)

Reboot Output:
