I should suggest that you open an case with Netapp and ask
for a DataOntap upgrade plan. They can generate one for your specific
system with all steps like firmare updates and so on included if
needed.
If you are a premium support customer, you can even do it
yourself.
Grtz,

we need to replace an older 900 series cluster with a new 3070
cluster. i want to make sure i dont miss anything or gotchas etc, looked
on NOW but didnt find a complete guide or maybe i searched wrong.
we
have 2 new 3070 heads and cables in the box and here is the current
plan
1) shutdown and unmount storage nfs/iscsi
2) update to current
ontap 7.2.4 (currently at 7.2.3)
3) reboot and allow shelf/disk firmware
updates to complete
4) shutdown and remove 9XX heads and cabling
5)
install 3070 heads, recable primary and secondary loops
6) power on heads,
ensure licenses are current and installed and verify volumes
7) reload ontap
with 3000 series architecture release 7.2.4
7) update rc file with new
interface names
any major gaps in the above or comments from folks who
have done this recently?
i went over this with the netapp tech rep and it
seems pretty straightforward but always want peer review
:)
