Hello Moshe,
I would definitely do the upgrade in two steps if possible - but that's just because I'm paranoid.
So I suggest upgrading to 7.3.6 first since there are quite a few things that changed from 7.2 to 7.3 and once that's done, continue to 8.0.2.
Can you plan downtime for the whole upgrade? Are you running a Metrocluster or is this a single system (local cluster)? How many disk shelves?
Are you planning to use 64bit aggregates after the upgrade too?
Bye,
Alexander Griesser

We are currently running 7.2.6.1P9 on our 3160, and I want to upgrade to 7.3.3 or later. Any reason not to go all the way to 8.0.2? My hardware is all supported (finally got rid of those old disk shelves).
And if we're upgrading, do you usually upgrade disk and shelf FW as well? Is this a requirement? I seem to be one version behind on most of my FW right now.
Thanks,
Moshe
