Step
1. From the storage system prompt, enter the following command: software
update file options
v file is the name of the software image you copied to the /etc/software
directory.
v options is one or more of the following:
– The -d option prevents the download command from being run
automatically after the system files are installed.
– The -f option overwrites the existing image in the /etc/software
directory.
– The -r option prevents the system from rebooting automatically after
the download command has finished (default).
– The -R option causes the system to reboot automatically after the
download command has finished.
Attention: Beginning in Data ONTAP 8.0.1 or later in the 8.0.x release
family, the software update options have changed; the -r option (no
automatic reboot) is the default, and the -R option must be specified to
override the -r option. However, if you are upgrading from any release
earlier than Data ONTAP 8.0.1, you must include the -r option to prevent
automatic reboot if you are performing a nondisruptive upgrade or if you
are upgrading firmware. For more information, see the software(1) man
page for the Data ONTAP version currently running on your system.
