No, you won't have to issue the download command becuase you are simply putting an "extra" set of files on those "vol1" disks. You are not actually upgrading the OS of the filer that those disks are attached.

Do you have to run the download command?

And let us not forget that if the "vol1" disks are clean, or have data on them but there is no /etc directory on it, it will go right into setup and complain about a few tings missing, like timezone stuff and java stuff.
Do yourself a favor, mount the "vol1" on a host someplace as
root/Administrator.
Then do an "upgrade" to vol1. This will simply put the needed files in place. Then do the following on your current filer:
vol offline vol1 halt --> physically remove vol1 and attach it to the new filer -->boot up the new filer with disks attached --> boot from from floppy for this release --> when you get to the 1-5 menu, choose #5, Maintenance Mode. --> now issue the following: vol online vol1 vol rename vol1 vol0 vol options vol0 root reboot (Without the floppies)

But presumably what you will be booting when you do a non-floppy boot on FilerB is whatever the last "download" on FilerA put on the discs (from its root volume /etc/boot, of course)? So you had better be sure that the ONTAP version you were running on FilerA and the version you populated its /vol/vol1/etc with are the same, if you want to avoid brain strain for either FilerB or yourself...
