I need to patch my 9.12.1 simulator to get around the CIFS/Windows authentication issue (https://kb.netapp.com/Support_Bulletins/Customer_Bulletins/SU530#)I've managed to get hold of the P7 patch, and when I first tried to upload it to the sim via the GUI (Cluster->overview->: More->Update ONTAP) I got an error message telling me there wasn't enough space.I followed the instructions here: https://kb.netapp.com/onprem/ontap/dm/System_Manager/System_Manager_fails_to_upload_ONTAP_image_due_to_insufficient_spaceand now the upload directory has 2.9GB free, which should be ample (the P7 patch is only 2.3GB).However, now when I try to upload the patch, the cluster just unceremoniously reboots. In the event log all I can see is mention of a coredump being saved, but nothing about what caused it.I have expanded the RAM to 16GB, no difference.
Well it seems with 9.12.1 you have to choose "From Server" (ie using an http: server), as if you try "From Local client" using the browser to upload it directly you'll get a core dump and reboot ">😐I used HFS from rejetto.com as the http: server on my windows box - works well.Don't forget the Windows firewall!
