Or worse yet. We are being MANDATED by Netapp to pay to upgrade our Data Ontap to be Y2k compliant.
We are running 4.3.5D2 on several filers and are happy with it, yet now so our network doesn't CRASH due to Network Appliance being very short sighted and having < 24month old software not be Y2k compliant, we have to buy some very costly software upgrades.
Can someone in Netapp management please e-mail me privately on this issue?
The absurdity of this is boggling.
