Ontap 9.7 Cluster, mixed versions, upgrade process question

BenCoughtry — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:27:30 GMT

Original cluster nodes are version 9.7p10 and I just added 2x nodes running 9.7p6 (went from 2x node switched cluster to 4x node cluster). I'm going to go through the cluster upgrade process to bring the new nodes up from p6 to p10, but will the nodes already running p10 undergo TO/GB just like the nodes being upgraded from p6 to p10? Or will ontap skip the upgrade process on the nodes already running p10?

Thanks so much!

You can specify the node to be upgraded.

system node upgrade-revert upgrade

Thanks. That command only returned 'The node configuration is up-to-date. No upgrade is needed.' but I ended up going the old school route of 'system node image update', setting default image and rebooting, which worked out ok.

Thank you! Take care,
