Hi Sudireddy, 

Is this a brand new system?  Else Revert process is usually disruptive. 

I would recommend you to use Upgrade advisor to generate a downgrade plan and follow it.

Is this equipment a new machine? Still running business, if it is a new machine, I recommend direct initialization, install system version package If you are running services, you need to prepare for the service shutdown window in advance. NAS and SAN service shutdown preparations are different. Do not try to restore the production cluster without technical support. You can restore a new cluster or test a cluster without help. If you try to restore the cluster yourself and experience any of the following issues, you should call technical support: Restore failed or could not be completed. The restore is complete, but the cluster is not available in production. The restore is complete, the cluster is in use, but you are not satisfied with its behavior. You can refer to the official link below to decide:https://docs.netapp.com/zh-cn/ontap/revert/concept_revert_process_considerations.html
