If you're going to do a web folder, then instead of mapping a CIFS share, etc. you might find it easier to do filer> software install http://mywebserver.bu.edu/folder/712setup.exe
You might need a -f at the end if there's already an ONTAP archive with the same name.
This tells the fielr to pull the upgrade from your server, put it in /etc/software, and extract the files into their homes in /etc.
Then download etc.
Share and enjoy!

Thanks for everyone's responses, it sounds like the really important thing I was missing was the download part. I may setup a web folder with upgrades however to facilitate this process in the future. The main thing I was worried about is that my configuration will be the same after I am done upgrading.
If anyone is curious, I am upgrading because while we were testing Wista we found that name resolution doesn't work to access the filer for the version of Data Ontap we have installed. According to the NOW website this problem was fixed in subsequent 7.1.x releases.

I would like to upgrade my filer from data ontap 7.1p1 to 7.1.2 and I just want to make sure I am doing it write.
I plan on doing the following:
1. disable the cluster 2. mount the c$ share as a drive 3. run the 7.1.2 installer 4. reboot 5. repeat with the other cluster partner 6. enable the cluster.
Does that sound right? It seems a little to easy to me
