............................................................................................................................................................................Upgrade FASTPATH and RCF on CN1610Important things to consider:
- Before a Netapp Cluster switch is upgraded, ensure that current running Ontap supports the FASTPATH version to be upgraded on switch side by looking into interoperability matrix.
- Ensure FASTPATH version and RCF version are compatible with ONTAP version running.
***Once verified that the RCF and FASTPATH are compatible, proceed with below**
Steps:
1. Verify Cluster ports are home, healthy and operational.
2. Verify Cluster interface are healthy, and are home
3. We are doing Cluster Switch 2 Upgrade first. So migrate cluster Lif xx_clus2 over to partner port on same local node.
4. Verify cluster lif clus2 has migrated to NODE 1, port e0a.
5. Now Modify Cluster Port by turning its admin status which was connected to ClusterSwitch#2. By Step no. 3, we now have no dependency of cluster lif on port e0b on either nodes.
6. Confirm Cluster port admin/link status is down as a result of Step #5.
7. Now Shutdown the ISL port on ClustwerSwitch#1 to remove any ISL traffic to ClusterSwitch#2.
8. Since we are doing the upgrade on ClusterSwitch#2 First, Log into ClusterSwitch#2 and verify what version is running in active state, what is the backup version, and what version is giong to be next active.
(ClusterSwitch#2) #show bootvar

Images currently available on Flash
---- ---------- ---------- ----------------- -----------------
unit active backup current-active next-active
---- ---------- ---------- ----------------- -----------------
1 1.1.0.8 1.1.0.8 1.1.0.8 1.1.0.8
9. Copy active FASTPATH image to backup before making changes
10. Verify Current running Version on Switch#2.
11. Copy the Updated FASTPATH Image and stage it on SWitch#2.
(ClusterSwitch#2) #copy scp://username@servername //var/www/ftp/CN1610_1.2.0.7.stk active
Management access will be blocked for the duration of the transfer
Are you sure you want to start? (y/n) y
12. Confirm the next active shows up the version you have just copied from step#11.
If RCF from Compatibility Matrix is not present, Follow 14-17, Else Move to Step 18
14. Find the Correct RCF file from Support site. For this exercise we are going with RCF_v1.2 that is compatible with Next-Active FASTPATH 1.2.0.7.
(ClusterSwitch2)#copy scp://username@servername //var/www/ftp/CN1610_CS_RCF_v1.2.txt nvram:script CN1610_CSRCF_v1.2.scr
15. Confirm Script is downloaded:
16. Apply the script to the Switch.
17. Verify the script has been applied to the switch, and then save the configuration.
Step 14- Step17 is required only if RCF version need to be updated
18. Reboot the ClusterSwitch#2 now. (1.2.0.7 as new FASTPATH has been uploaded, Newer RCF is uploaded by now. Reboot will make it active).
19. Verify the switch is running new version of FASTPATH Software on ClusterSwitch#2.
20. Now Log into ClusterSwitch#1 and Enable ISL Ports for Port-Channel
21. Verify ISL Ports are operational and Port channel is active from ClusterSwitch#2.
22. Log into Cluster and bring up the admin port of e0b which would now be connected to already upgraded ClusterSwitch#2. This can be done from node locally only i.e. logging into cluster lif prevents you from bringing up or down ports.
23. Verify that the cluster ports are healthy and UP by now.
24. Verify Cluster Interface are home and healthy.
25. Verify Cluster HA is healthy, cluster health is healthy.
Cluster1::*> Storage failover show
REPEAT STEP 3 THRU STEP 25 for ClusterSwitch#1 This time. Instead of Cluster lif clus2, this time it will be Clus1 and port migrate would be port e0b from step no. 3.
I have followed above instruction in doing multiple CN1610 upgrades.
I am sure you found it helpful.
You are welcome :)
