Before reverting ONTAP, you should review resources to understand issues you must resolve before upgrading, understand new system behavior in the target release, and confirm hardware support.
- Confirm that your hardware platform is supported in the target release.
- Confirm that your cluster and management switches are supported in the target release.
You must verify that the NX-OS (cluster network switches), IOS (management network switches), and reference configuration file (RCF) software versions are compatible with the version of ONTAP to which you are reverting.
- If your cluster is configured for SAN, confirm that the SAN configuration is fully supported.
