We have a pair of primary filers (FAS3220) and a single backup filer (FAS2240). We don't have any spare kit lying around which would run 8.2 (our older off-support filers are all too old for that).
The filers are <1 year old, we went with 7 mode because of the lack of support for Qtrees and SnapVault in 8.1.2 c-mode which was the newest available at installation.
Am I stuck on 7 mode until we do our next technology refresh in ~ 5 years?
My guess is yes. We have a nearly identical setup to yours (installed 2011 with 5 years support), and I was recently recommended to move VMware backups from OnCommand 5 to VSC because OC 5 Host Package won't see any bug fixes now OC6 is cDOT only.
