Can we upgrade ONTAP from NODAR to DAR image?
Applies to
Answer
Yes.
- You can upgrade an ONTAP image not capable of encryption (NODAR) to a version of ONTAP that does support encryption (DAR) including the same major and minor versions.
- Download and install the DAR ONTAP image manually.
- The manual nondisruptive upgrade (rolling method) using CLI for ONTAP upgrades must be followed and requires a reboot of the nodes in the cluster.
