Issue

Downloading a new ONTAP image or firmware file fails once a node boots up ONTAP, however it works as expected when downloading from the HTTP server at the LOADER prompt (prior to booting ONTAP on the node)

EXAMPLE:

LOADER-B> netboot http://192.168.0.3/95P12_q_image.tgz
Downloading 192.168.0.3/95P12_q_image.tgz ..
