Issue

When attempting to upgrade a cluster to ONTAP 9.7 with a local software image upload from System Manager, the image upload fails with the following error messages:

  • In Cloud Manager, the upgrade screen will hang and the first node in the upgrade will reboot, even though the image wasn't installed.
  • In System Manager:

Failed to add the software image to the cluster.
The request body must have content type multipart/form-data with a field named "file" containing the file to upload.

  • In EMS events:

[Cluster01: notifyd: sysmgr.upload.no.form:error]: Failed to upload a file because a form field named "file" was not found in the HTTP request, or the Content-Type HTTP header is not "multipart/form-data".
