Going to resurrect this thread from the ashes. A couple of questions:
Just a quick poll - how many of you are performing rolling ANDU upgrades via System Manager? I see it is documented as the "preferred" ANDU method despite Upgrade Avisor walking through the CLI based steps.
*"You can also perform an automated upgrade using the command line interface (CLI); however,* *using ONTAP System Manager is preferred."*
*https://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMLP2876872 https://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMLP2876872*
Also, is the System Manager method available if performing the double/direct upgrade from 9.3->9.7?
Thanks, Phil

Always reboot those sp/bmc before attempting any upgrade. It usually solves the SP update process from failing !

Works well check your cluster switch firmware versions, and upgrade your SPs directly prior if supported. I've seen many instances of SP hangs when we went through that process over a year ago (hundreds of nodes). Overall 9.7 is a great stable version.

Hello Toasters,
Anybody have experience, positive or negative, upgrading from 9.3 to 9.7?
It is a supported automated upgrade path but requires packages for both 9.5 and 9.7. My understanding is each node will be upgraded twice (once to 9.5 then to 9.7) but otherwise should follow the typical automated upgrade routine.
