Hello,
Hi,
Has anybody upgraded to 8.1.4 P9 7-Mode yet? I am looking to upgrade to 8.1.4 P9 from 8.1.4 P3 shortly.
Yep, last week, from 8.1.3.
I am especially curious if there are any known issues with 8.1.4 P9 because it is currently the latest release in the 8.1.4 family. If 8.1.4 P9 turns out to be problematic, we will be forced to upgrade to an 8.2.X release.
Just works, but were using only NFS, CIFS, Snapmirror.
We've been hesitant to upgrade to an 8.2.X release because our average controller utilization is 40-45% (avg_processor_busy) and, as I understand it, we can expect a bump of 10-20% CPU utilization on account of new code/features that have been introduced in 8.2.x.
We don't graph CPU usage on these boxes, so I don't know.
We won't upgrade to 8.2 because it does not support flash cache (at least on FAS3210). But we will upgrade to some 25xx box with CDOT next month. (And our FAS6290 FMCs probably too.)
Grtnx,
