Here is exactly what you need to do:
1, copy the 722_setup_q.exe file to the /etc/software directory on your filer. 2. Modify the /etc/rc file reflect the new adapter locations. 3. halt the filer 4. power off and swap heads. 5. power on new head. 6. MAKE SURE TO ENTER MAINTENANCE MODE 7. take ownership of all disks (I Think: "disk assign all", but check the command) 8. destroy the old mailbox: "mailbox destroy local" 9. "halt" the system 10. "bye" to reset the system 11. Go to the floppy menu and choose "boot without /etc/rc" 12. Find the option to disable disk firmware background updates and disable it ("options disk" should do the trick) 13. Run "software install 722_setup_q.exe" 14. Run "download" 15. Run "disk_fw_update" to make sure all disk firmware is up to date 16. Run "storage download shelf" to make sure all shelf firmware is up to date 17. Re-enable the option from #12 18. reboot and enjoy
notes: #8 is needed to get rid of the hardware based mailbox disk. A new one is recreated during boot. #12/13 I like to do so I am not waiting during the reboot.

All,
We'll be replacing a 960 with a new 3070 soon and am wondering if anyone's gone through this upgrade path yet.
Our current plan is to install 7.2.2 for the 3070 (which is an x86_64 based OS) with the 960 still up, run "download" to put the boot stuff on the disks, then edit the /etc/rc file to change the device names for the network interface, then shutdown and swap the heads. Hopefully the 3070 will just come up and hum right along.
Any gotchyas?
