Hello,
You
mention you believe it was GA at one point, and I don't believe that is
correct.
It
used to be the case, but at some point, they determined that if the base release
was GD, then subsiqent released are auto-majically placed into GD
status.
This
has caused us problems and I hope others chime in to see if NetApp will go back
to the old release cycle of every version being GA before going to
GD.

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?
