Issue

Type 'exit' or 'Ctrl-D' to return to the CLI

Warning: The default boot image is an earlier major version than the currently running version of ONTAP. Rebooting with this image at this time is not supported. Follow revert procedure to revert to this image. If you continue, the default boot image will be reset to the currently running image and the node will reboot.
Do you want to continue? {y|n}:y
-----------> After node2 rebooting, image2 with newer version on node2 still keeps true state.
