Hi darb0505

Currently running Netapp Ontap 9.1P15. I am upgrading to 9.3P8D2.

When rebooting neatp it is showing this message:

The upgrade is not complete: an upgrade task aborted. This node is not fully
operational. Contact support personnel for the upgrade repair procedure.

When system node upgrade-revert upgrade it is showing

Failed to install Certificate. Reason: "The certificate has expired."..

Hi Rajaram,

It sounds like you are hitting a known issue that can happen when upgrading from 9.1x to newer releases.

You can reference the following Customer Bulletin: SU385 for additional details regarding the issue. I would recommend contacting NetApp Technical Support to assist you with the issue and help finish the upgrade.

Thanks
