Upgraded a 2050A from 7.2.4L1 to 7.2.6. Running VMWare on NFS, FCP, and iSCSI. CIFS for file shares. So far no problems whatsoever. Had to upgrade the BMC firmware in the system before doing the D.O.T. upgrade, but no panics or failovers have happened since the upgrade.

We upgraded a 2020 as a guinea pig and so far it’s been fine – no issues at all. We use NFS and FlexCache.

We’re considering 7.2.6 for the same reasons as you. Presumably, the ASIS code has been changed in this release to address bug you mentioned.
I wonder if anyone else is using 7.2.6 and ASIS and whether it’s possibly related to the panic?

We upgraded a pair of clustered 3070's and a 3020 last Saturday.  We do a small amount of CIFS, more NFS and lots of LUNs.  We haven't had any issues.  All of the hosts connected to the clustered 3070's are multipathed except for one.

good luck with the issues, Kevin

Does NetApp still publish the number of appliances running different version of Data OnTap?

We just upgraded to 7.2.6 on Sunday and we have had two (and possibly a third) panics causing failover on 1 of the 4 filers.  Failover went smoothly for the most part (I bet the app team that didn't want to spend the money multipathing software / hba's will be singing another tune tomorrow) but both panics didn't create complete core dumps.  We are working on the case with NetApp support but want to see what other people were seeing about 7.2.6.

7.2.6 went GD recently and I assume it was GA for awhile before that, but I can't figure release dates or the number of appliances running the different versions of Data OnTap.

Thanks
Jack

p.s. why did we upgrade?
