Issue

  • Upgrade from 9.11.1.P8 to 9.12.1P2 fails with:  
Error:{ "error": { "message": "Unexpected parameter \"CP&DX\" is missing an \"=\" delimiter.", "code": "262248", "target": "CP&DX" } }
  • Upgrade from 9.15.1 to 9.16.1p10 also throws the same error as seen from NetApp Console > Audit trail during CVO upgrade
  • NOTE: This is not version specific issue but the & special character conflicts with the coding used during managed upgrades through NetApp Console and likely System Manager as well
