Ontap Deploy Upgrade Iissue

B_Vandi — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:01:26 GMT

I'm trying to update Ontap deploy from 9.6 to either 9.7 or 9.8 and ruin into an issue with either update:

I'm getting the permissions denied error as seen in the bold below. This is a test instance and trying to get some experience with the process before rolling it to production instances.

(ONTAPdeploy) deploy upgrade -package-path /home/admin/SELECTDEPLOY9.7_5554606.tar.gz

Two-node clusters are being managed by this Deploy instance. An upgrade operation requires a reboot of Deploy, which will temporarily disconnect iSCSI connections from ONTAP Select nodes of two-node clusters (being managed and using the mediator service running on this Deploy). Takeover/Giveback will be disabled on all such two-node clusters for the short period until the Deploy reboot completes and iSCSI connections from ONTAP Select nodes are restored.

Do you want to proceed with the upgrade ? [y/N] y

A backup of the system will be taken prior to upgrade.
Enter a password to encrypt the backup with:
Retype new password:

Starting upgrade. This may take a few minutes. The system will reboot to complete the upgrade. No other operations are permitted while the upgrade is in progress.
Error[400]: UpgradeUntarErr - Failed to extract "/home/admin/SELECTDEPLOY9.7_5554606.tar.gz". Reason: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/admin/SELECTDEPLOY9.7_5554606.tar.gz'.

Thank You,

Are you trying to Upgrade NetApp Controllers or Bare Metal builds? If it's controllers, you have the wrong tar.

After reviewing the built-in commands, saw that there is a "shell bash" options..

(ONTAPdeploy) shell bash
admin@OntapDeploy:~$ ls -l
total 5930224
-rwx------ 1 admin admin 3012494048 May 2 16:02 SELECTDEPLOY9.7_5554606.tar.gz
-rwx------ 1 admin admin 3054111630 May 2 16:11 SELECTDEPLOY9.8_5879607.tar.gz
admin@OntapDeploy:~$ chmod 755 *
admin@OntapDeploy:~$ exit

I'm now able to perform the upgrade.

Hopefully this will save someone else 🙂
