The Step 2 "Configure and verify the setup" section is misleading and incomplete

Install the Reference Configuration File (RCF)

Summary

When you call Netapp they tell you that you can upgrade any CISCO switch without losing the connection and they give you this link.

https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-systems-switches/switch-cisco-3132q-v/install-rcf-3132q-v.html#step-1-check-port-status

However, the Step 2 section leads you to believe that you can skip the warning in step 2.2 and just execute 2.2.a and 2.2.b which leads to deleting the running-config and losing connection to the switch.

1- it should tell you that is a MUST to either follow the linked KB instructions or be connected to the console port.

2- More importantly, the documentation should add the below KB as well because some users upgrade CISCO inter-cluster switches. https://kb.netapp.com/on-prem/Switches/Cisco-KBs/How_to_clear_configuration_on_a_Cisco_interconnect_switch_while_retaining_remote_connectivity
