Just an aside (almost certainly way beyond what you require, which I think has already been answered !) -
ONTAP 5.3 has an optional (license required !) "snaprestore" feature. This basically allows you to restore an entire volume back to any chosen snapshot, over a filer reboot. This gives the additional benefit of allowing you to take a snapshot, perform whatever tests you like (eg application changes, full Y2K testing, etc), then to rollback the entire volume within a couple of minutes to exactly how it was at the point of the snapshot.
Just thought I'd mention it !
Cheers Mike

Hi All,
As part of my Y2K testing I intend rolling the date forward on my filer (F230, currently 5.2.1, NFS & CIFS) to just before midnight on the 31st and then watch it as it ticks over midnight. So far, so good. The issue I have (assuming the filer is Y2K compliant!) is rolling it back again.
Has anyone rolled their filer forward and then back again to put it back into production? Were there any glitches? There will be files that will have modified dates in the future, but these can be a copy of some production data which can be deleted after the test.
