Our environment uses 64bit aggrs and we're loving it. Packing 32 2TB SATA drives in an aggregate makes a nice big 40T that performs pretty well for sequential workloads. The data set for some of our applications lends itself well to copying data around, we often move data to balance things across our filer heads. That makes easier for us to get to 64bit aggrs for most of the data that moves around, and we utilized qtree snapmirror a lot which works great for that. Vol Copy won't work but ndmpcopy should, thought I haven't tried it, it's basically the same problem as back when we all were starting to move to flex vols, it's a pain for some customers.
I've not seen any gotchas or serious issues yet. 64bit aggr's are not supported in 8.0 c-mode yet, but are supposed to be supported in 8.0.1 from what I understand.
Hope that helps,

Hello Toasters,
Currently all of our filers are running ONTAP 7.3.x and we are looking at upgrading to 8.x and perhaps buying some disks/shelves that require 8.x. We would also like to convert to 64 bit aggrs to get beyond the 16T size limit.
As I understand it, there is no way to upgrade an existing 32 bit aggr to 64 bit in place, you need to copy the data. Furthermore, you cannot volume snapmirror 32 bit to/from 64 bit.
I presume you can ndmpcopy 32 bit to/from 64 bit. How about "vol copy" ?
Is anyone running 8.x and migrating from 32bit to 64bit aggrs? How are you doing it?
Is the recommended 8.x release stable? Any serious bugs, issues, or gotchas ?
Thanks,
