Ontap Upgrade from 8.3.2x to 9.1x and BUG 1250500 - how to solve

luiz_silva — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 12:10:36 GMT

Hi, we are going to upgrade a FAS8020 from 8.3.2P12 to 9.1P19 and there is a possible issue here regarding embedded certificates that has already expired:

Is there a solution for this?

Note: upgrade to a fixed in version (9.3+) is not allowed.

Thanks!

The certs were introduced in 9.2. so an upgrade to 9.1Px should be fine.

What do you mean update to 9.3 is not allowed? Do you mean an upgrade from 8.3 to 9.3 or something else?

Thanks for your reply.I meant: we cannot upgrade directly from 8.3.2 to 9.2 or later. We need to upgrade to 9.1x first.

The bug is going from 8.x or 9.0 or 9.1 to 9.2+. Just upgrade from 9.1 to the latest P release 9.3 where it is fixed if you wanted to say go to 9.5.
