To me version says software level, not different binaries for the different arch. Besides, step 3 is to continue with the install. Under what case would you have a 3170 build of OnTap on your filers before you start an upgrade? All of this tilted towards making me believe that they were concerned with the software version on the heads. If this is not the case it needs to be made clear.<br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">Thanks for the note. It&#39;s good
to know that you didn&#39;t have any kernel panics or such. I&#39;ll have to take a
look at the OnTap download matrix. But if anyone at Netapp is listening this,
the doc that could really could use the updating to say something about this
is:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/hardware/NetApp/cs_migration/FAS3xxx/FAS3020_FAS3050_to_FAS31xx_active.htm" target="_blank">http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/hardware/NetApp/cs_migration/FAS3xxx/FAS3020_FAS3050_to_FAS31xx_active.htm</a><br>


<br>
This doc is called <span style="font-size: 10pt;">&quot;Upgrading from a
FAS3020 or FAS3050 System in an Active/Active Configuration to a FAS31xx System
in an Active/Active Configuration&quot;</span> so you would think that is would
say something about this wouldn&#39;t you?<br>

a similar problem when I upgraded a 960 to a 3040. I didn’t see the info
in the OnTap download matrix that showed the heads required a different build
version. It was there, just not obvious. Never had any problems other than lots
of the mapfile log entries. Once I loaded the correct version (q or e versus m,
I also have a 3020) all was well.</span></p>

<b>Subject:</b> Warning for people doing a head upgrade from a 3050 to a 3170</span></p>

</div>

<div>

<p> </p>

<p>Here is a warning for people that might be doing a head upgrade from a 3050
to a 3170 (and possibly other heads). The documentation states that you need to
bring the 3050 heads up-to the same software level as the 3170 heads. This may
very well be the case but they fail to mention that the 3170 uses a different
build of OnTap and that you need to upgrade OnTap on the 3170&#39;s immediately
after the upgrade with the build for the 3170&#39;s. <br>
<br>
So right now we are running 3170&#39;s with a build of OnTap 7.2.6.1 built for the
3050&#39;s and getting these errors in syslog:<br>
<br>
na1-u-e0a [na1-u: mgr.stack.openFail:warning]: Unable to open function
name/address mapping file /etc/boot/mapfile_7.2.6.1.2O: No such file or
directory<br>
<br>
Netapp Supports response is: &quot;Upgrade or you&#39;ll probably get Kernel
Panics.&quot; and &quot;We&#39;ll try to update the documentation.&quot; 
Needless to say I&#39;m not impressed.<br clear="all">
