CDOT upgrade from 9.1P13 to 9.6P3

[MohamedShehata]

hello,

we need to upgrade a cluster we have with 8 nodes that are running CDOT 6.1P13, this cluster is used for backups so no down time is expected during the upgrade, we need to upgrade to CDOT 9.6P3, can someone please provide me with simple guides, documentations and links available for that procedure to test it beforehand ?

You can check any interoperability for your environment here:  https://mysupport.netapp.com/matrix/#search

You'll need to do multi jump hops for this too.     9.1 -> 9.3 -> 9.5 -> 9.6 or 9.7
