I would recommend 9.7p10 Be aware that you can only jump 2 versions… so it’s 9.1 to 9.3 to 9.5 to 9.7 😉 I would recommend a pause between each version, and get the latest patched version also… I seem to remember one specific version where the cluster certificate in the downloaded ontap version was expired, which resulted in an upgrade of the cluster never completing… no downtime or anything, but NetApp support had to fix the cluster database… 😊 I have been working with NetApp for 15 years … [View More]

Motherboard Replacement on out-of-warranty filer
by Alexander Griesser 18 Feb '21

18 Feb '21

Hey there, we do operate a few EOL'ed devices in our labs (and as playground for the automation services, etc.) and from time to time, things break - very rarely, but they do. I do have quite some hardware on stock here and I'm all set for exchanging almost anything that can break inside a filer (from disks to shelves to backplanes, cables, fans, PSUs, NVRAM batteries, etc.), but changing the motherboard proved difficult. I cannot find a way to assign the old S/N to the new motherboard in … [View More]

interesting 9.3P17 & 9.5P5 bug
by John Stoffel 12 Feb '21

12 Feb '21

Just ran into an interesting bug in 9.3P17 (yes, I'm off support!) and another 9.5P5 system which I thought I'd share. Let's grab all the export policies on the system in CSV format to make it easy to parse: ntap1::> set -showseparator ","; export-policy show Vserver Policy Name --------------- ------------------- foo default WTF? That's wierd? Let's try something else: ntap1::> set -showseparator ","; export-policy show -fields … [View More]

OnTap 9.6 vs 9.7
by Brian Parent 05 Feb '21

05 Feb '21

I've got an AFF8020 running 9.1P10 and wondering whether I should target 9.6P10 or 9.7P10 as the destination version. I'm aware that such an upgrade will require a hop to 9.3 first. I'm also aware that reversion can not skip a release, which is a little scary. I *really* hope I don't have to revert from 9.6 or 9.7 all the way back to 9.3 (3 or 4 hops). What I'm looking for is advice on 9.6p10 vs. 9.7p10. Any horror stories of either release? I'm leaning towards 9.7p10, just because it's more … [View More]

7-mode upgrade mismatch
by Carl Howell 04 Feb '21

04 Feb '21

I have a 3240 cluster with node A running 8.2.5P5 and node B running 8.1.4P9. Node A was upgraded to 8.2.5P5 and giveback was performed from node B. Takeover of node B by node A was performed, and both nodes are now running on node A. But, node B was not upgraded to 8.2.5P5 before the takeover and now when we attempt to giveback to node B so that it can be upgraded, it panics. So, node A running 8.2.5P5 in takeover mode. Node B running 8.1.4P9 has been taken over by A. How can we get B … [View More]
