I thought the current minimum supported release if 7.2.5.1?
There's also the PITA NDMP backup issues on fat VMDKs which wasn't fixed until 7.2.6.1.

If youre on a 3xxx/6xxx FAS-series and running DOT >= 7.2.4, you can take advantage of the special sauce. You will have to obtain one of those no-cost NearStore licenses (made available as a free offering on 3/10/08) to get dedupe enabled. We went through a zero-dollar purchase order route as an edu a year ago. Dont know if this process has changed or not since; reach out to your NetApp contacts to touch base on this.
