The only real trouble I have noticed since upgrading to 6.0.1R1
has been the disk_fw_update on replacement drives sent from NetApps.
They still quiesce the bus when you introduce drives with older/newer
firmware revision numbers. Other than that, I don't mind that my
snapmirror
updates take minutes instead of hours. It was very helpful to be able to
create a
new mirror without having to reboot the filer. Command line interrogation
is much friendlier
and the new http GUI rocks over the older versions.
sory - I did not intend to get on my soapbox.

If you don't mind sharing with the group the types of problems other than
snapmirror that you're seeing after the upgrade from 5.3.x to 6.0.1R1. I'm
planning to perform the migration from 5.3.x to 6.0.1R1 and would be
interested to know the problems you're having with 6.0.1R1. Thanks.
Peter

ERRR?? Where did you see this?
We just upgraded 2 5.3.4RWHATEVER to 6.0.1R1 on Feb 1, and we were
told that you had to do both in a snapmirror because of the version issues
Brian found. We are having alot of problems with the filers and the
systems
since the upgrade, but are trying to work it out.
No one told us about deleting the previous snapshots....
