The software command is used to fetch, manage and install
software packages. The software command can be used with
image.tgz setup.exe and .zip Data ONTAP software packages.
software get URL [ -f ] [ dest ]
The get sub-command fetches a file from an HTTP or
HTTPS URL and saves the file on the storage controller.
The command takes a URL of the format
- http://[username[:password]@]host:port/path
- or
https://[username[:password]@]host:port/path. The
-f option can be used to overwrite the destination
file if it already exists. By default, the file is
saved with the file name found in the URL, but a
different destination file name can be provided
with the dest parameter.
software list
The list sub-command displays the software packages
stored in the /etc/software directory of the root
volume.
software delete software_file1 software_file2 ...
software_fileN
The delete sub-command will delete the specified
software package from the /etc/software directory
of the root volume.
software install software_file
software install URL [ -f ] [ dest ]
The install sub-command is deprecated. Use the
software update command.
software update software_file [ -r | -R ] [ -d ]
software update URL [ -f ] [ -r | -R ] [ -d ] [ dest ]
The update sub-command installs a local software
package file, or fetches and installs a software
package from the specified URL. As part of the
installation process the download command will be
executed automatically, followed by an optional
reboot. The URL and dest parameters are the same
as described in the get sub-command.
- -f
- forces an overwrite of the destination file when
installing from URL
- -d
- disables automatic installation (download)
- -r
- disables automatic reboot
- -R
- requests an automatic reboot
The -d option implies the -r option. If download
did not occur, then the storage controller should
not be rebooted. The -r option to inhibit automatic
reboot has become the default behavior. Use
the -R option to restore the old behavior.
