Hi Paul,

Check out KB000027886 article. (Couldn't find the KB for ONTAP 9)

But I recommend contacting NetApp support. You might also need to convert your licenses.

Downgrade can only be a version of a version of the downgrade, in addition to the cluster mode can not be directly downgraded to 7-mode, need to modify the parameters, the following article may help you
