The document discusses the ability to upgrade or revert ONTAP versions on a simulator due to the limitation of available images on a newly upgraded NetApp site. This capability is essential for testing specific ONTAP versions for bug reports, troubleshooting, or feature testing without impacting production systems. It confirms that both upgrading and reverting simulator images is possible.

1. Is it possible to upgrade or revert ONTAP
versions on a Simulator, and why do you
want to do that?
Reason: With newly upgraded NetApp site, the NetApp Simulator tool's page maintains only
limited (latest 3 I guess) images of the Simulator. Therefore, if you have a requirement to
test a specific ONTAP version for a reported bug or for troubleshooting purpose or to test a
feature without being concern about breaking anything on Production Filers, then it makes
sense that you might need to do that.
Is it possible: Yes, you can either upgrade or revert a Simulator image.
