RE: OnTap 7G; was RE: Replacing our NetApp

He's right, the traditional volumes will not be able to be upgraded. You have to have the room to migrate your storage over. We used a SnapMirror to new discs to accomplish our migration. That's the only small drawback to the 7.x flex vols. Everything else about them is golden. We have used NetApp for many years and use them in many creative ways, but the flex vols have opened up new worlds to us. You will want to check with your rep and make sure you are running the proper release. 7.x comes in a few flavors, some may be better for one part of your environment and some for others.

You may not be able to run a seamless transfer from trad to flexvol using just NetAPP; however, if you are using complimentary software such as VFM or even hardware such as Acopia you can do it. I think it only works with NAS though. -----Original Message----- From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] On Behalf Of Herbert Langenbach Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2006 11:30 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: OnTap 7G; was RE: Replacing our NetApp I installed 7.1 on three 270, two 920 and on two 3020 (Metro)clusters all with iSCSI, FC, SQL, Exchange, Oracle (CIFS/NFS/SAN), Snapmirror/SnapVault not one problem so far but we don't use quotas don't wait for an inplace migration from traditional to flex volume you won't get it Herbert Langenbach Senior Technical Consultant Databasement bv tel: 079 361 97 65 mobile: 06 23 352 168 -----Original Message----- From: Mike Wargel [mailto:mwargel@cstor.com] Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2006 4:51 PM To: Pichardo, Socrates; Glenn Dekhayser; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: OnTap 7G; was RE: Replacing our NetApp We've been running 7G for a few months now with only one CIFS issue that was resolved by 7.03.

Always go with the latest available release :) We've also had problems with our filers (I think 6 bugs in the 6 weeks I've been here)... however, we're running 7.0.0.1 which was pretty abysmal as far as reliability. 7.0.4 should be the new Safe Harbor release when it comes out - it will do much for stability. As for the quota bug(s), I think there is still one that exists in 7.0.4, but will probably be addressed with a P release. Personally, I'd feel comfortable with upgrading to 7.0.4 for our enterprise, but also looking at 7.1 when it gets cooked a bit more - some good enhancements for Exchange in that release.
