NetApp All Flash AFF - A200a
Performed NDU ONTAP Upgrade to 9.2P1 and upon Node 1 updating and waiting ~ 40 mins, the controller was rebooted and sitting as a Loader prompt like this:

System would not boot - boot_ontap, boot_primary, boot_diag, boot_backup - nada, nothing.
I decided to reseat the controller and then it automagically booted back up into the previous ONTAP (9.1). Cluster Update then updated Node 2 successfully and circled back and completed Node 1.
Case opened w/ Support but no resolution.
Anyone seen this?
