New RLM firmware and its upgrade requirements
RLM firmware versions 4.0 and later require a different layout on flash media.
You must ensure that you are running the latest 3.1.x RLM firmware to enable
the transition to the new layout, and then update to the 4.0 or later firmware.
Your RLM must be running the latest 3.1.x firmware to update to 4.0. If you
are running a firmware version earlier than 3.1, you must first perform an
intermediate update to the latest 3.1.x firmware, and then update from 3.1 to
4.0 in a separate operation.
Attention: Regardless of whether you update RLM firmware from the Data
ONTAP CLI or the RLM CLI, do not update directly from a firmware version
earlier than 3.1 to 4.0 or later. Doing so corrupts the RLM flash device.
If you are updating to version 4.0 or later from either the Data ONTAP CLI or
the RLM CLI, you must run the rlm update command with the -f option for
a full image update. Further updates do not require the -f option.
If you are updating RLM firmware from the RLM CLI, you can use the
normal procedure.
For information about installing and updating the RLM firmware, see the Data
ONTAP 8.0 7-Mode Upgrade and Revert/Downgrade Guide.
For information about configuring the RLM, see the Data ONTAP 8.0 7-Mode
System Administration Guide.
