Installing ONTAP software images for a reversion

Before performing a reversion, you must install the target ONTAP software image on each node in the cluster.

Before you begin

You must have obtained the ONTAP software images.

Set the privilege level to advanced, entering y when prompted to continue:set -privilege advanced
The advanced prompt (*>) appears.

Choose one of the following options based on your requirements:

If you want to...	Run this command...
Download, but not install, the software image	`system node image get -node * -package location -replace-package true -background true` This command downloads the software image to all of the nodes simultaneously. To download the image to each node one at a time, do not specify the -background parameter.
Install a previously downloaded software image	`system node image update -node * -package image_name -background true` Note the following considerations for this command: You need to set the privilege level to advanced (set -privilege advanced), entering y when prompted to continue. If you are unsure of the image name to install, then you can view a list of previously downloaded software images by using the system node image package show command. This command installs the software image on all of the nodes simultaneously. To install the image on each node one at a time, do not specify the -background parameter.
Download and install the software image in the same operation	`system node image update -node * -package location -replace-package true -background true` Note the following considerations for this command: You need to set the privilege level to advanced (set -privilege advanced), entering y when prompted to continue. This command downloads and installs the software image on all of the nodes simultaneously. To download and install the image on each node one at a time, do not specify the -background parameter.

Run this command...

Download, but not install, the software image

system node image get -node * -package location -replace-package true -background true

This command downloads the software image to all of the nodes simultaneously. To download the image to each node one at a time, do not specify the -background parameter.

Install a previously downloaded software image

system node image update -node * -package image_name -background true

Note the following considerations for this command:

You need to set the privilege level to advanced (set -privilege advanced), entering y when prompted to continue.
If you are unsure of the image name to install, then you can view a list of previously downloaded software images by using the system node image package show command.
This command installs the software image on all of the nodes simultaneously.
To install the image on each node one at a time, do not specify the -background parameter.

Download and install the software image in the same operation

system node image update -node * -package location -replace-package true -background true

Note the following considerations for this command:

You need to set the privilege level to advanced (set -privilege advanced), entering y when prompted to continue.
This command downloads and installs the software image on all of the nodes simultaneously. To download and install the image on each node one at a time, do not specify the -background parameter.

Verify that the software image is downloaded and installed on each node: system node image show-update-progress -node *

This command displays the current status of the software image download and installation. You should continue to run this command until all nodes report a Run Status of Exited, and an Exit Status of Success.

Example

The following example shows a 2-node cluster in which the software image has been downloaded and installed successfully on both nodes:

TDC-DM7K::*> system node image show-update-progress -node *
There is no update/install in progress
Status of most recent operation:
        Run Status:     Exited
        Exit Status:    Success
        Phase:          Run Script
        Exit Message:   Installation complete. image2 updated on node TDC-7K-03.
There is no update/install in progress
Status of most recent operation:
        Run Status:     Exited
        Exit Status:    Success
        Phase:          Run Script
        Exit Message:   Installation complete. image2 updated on node TDC-7K-01.
