Hello,

ontap upgrade issue, I was updating FAS2040HA from 7.3.2 to 8.0.3P2.

>software update -r for both filers,

A>cf takeover
A>cf giveback

(Now the B node is 8.0.3P2 and A node is still 7.3.2)

B>cf takeover -n
Doesen't work, because of cifs
>cifs terminate, no luck...
>halt -d, well, that worked...

but...
takeover didn't happened, and B node was trying to boot 7.3.2.
It didn't boot up, because "bad disk label"

I tried to boot_primary, boot_secondary and etc. from LOADER prompt, no luck, always 7.3.2.

I was able to do netboot, but i get this menu:

Please choose one of the following:

(1) Normal Boot.
(2) Boot without /etc/rc.
(3) Change password.
(4) Clean configuration and initialize all disks.
(5) Maintenance mode boot.
(6) Update flash from backup config.
(7) Install new software first.
(8) Reboot node.
Selection (1-8)?

At this point a normal boot will be prohibited.


first i just tried with option 2, it booted up as 8.0.3P2.
i tried to do >software update, it didn't work, >download, didn't work.
if i type >version, it shows me 8.0.3P2,
>version -b shows me nothing.

then i did cf takeover from B node, and services are up, but A node is still trying to boot up 7.3.2.


Should i choose (7) from that netboot menu, or what?
