Hi everyone,
I've noticed that I can no longer generate a plan for an NDU upgrade in the Upgrade Advisor.
Unfortunately, the "Generate" button is always grayed out.
The update is planned from 9.15.1 to 9.18.1.
See the screenshots.
Is this intended, or is it a bug in the tool?
Best regards
Dennis

But why is the Upgrade Advisor Plan no longer available for NDU?
It's still a valid update path.

I don't know about that decision but if your doing the manual "system image" way of updating the cluster instead of the automated "cluster image" you're missing tons of automated checks.
I've not used the "system image" CMDs for production clusters since like - I don't know - 4 or maybe 5 years. And I have updated hundred systems since then. I'm always using "cluster image update" even for something like 8-node clusters or bigger MCCs.
Why would you want to do it manually? Are you manually checking all these steps? https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/upgrade/prepare.html
