Re: Upgrade from 9.3 to 9.7

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>*

Also, is the System Manager method available if performing the
double/direct upgrade from 9.3->9.7?

Thanks,
Phil
