I suspect not many use it, but IPSec is also not supported in 8.x

 

 

8.0.x does not support TLS

8.0.x does not support Snaplock

If these features are important to you, then go to the latest 7.3.x.

 

Disks and shelves should get upgraded as part of the ONTAP upgrade.  I would recommend checking to make sure your system firmware is appropriate for the ONTAP version you upgrade to.  If it isn’t, then upgrade it before upgrading ONTAP.

 

 

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
