Okay, can someone help explain to me what happens to volumes between Data ONTAP 5.x and 6.x with respect to the upgrade steps and times.
In our situation, we're vol copy'ing data from 5.3.7R3 to 6.1R1. The first annoyance is that the destination filer (6.1R1) says the following:
Mon Jun 11 15:57:13 PDT [turbine: rshd_0:error]: Filesystem version mismatch for destination volume vol2_2, reverting the version and aborting transfer. A console message will be displayed when this revert is complete.
The fabled console message it describes never happens. Even so, please just send me a message that I can use syslog.conf to route to whichever logging facility I please. Sending something to the console only without possibility of configuring it to go somewhere else makes me very sad since I'm not going to be watching the console for hours at a time.
Does anyone know how long the revert process takes?
Our next problem is that now that we've vol-copied, the destination volume wants to upgrade itself. Again, does anyone know what the steps are and how long they take to upgrade?
I found the following information in "vol status -c":
turbine*> vol status -c Volume Checksum style Checksum status vol0_1 zoned Checksums active root zoned Checksums active vol0_2 zoned Checksums active vol2_2 zoned Checksums initializing: RAID upgrade phase 1 (of 2) in progress vol2_1 zoned Checksums initializing: WAFL upgrade in progress
(BTW, wouldn't alphanumeric sorting be nice in output like this?)
So is it the case that we have 2 RAID upgrade phases and then a WAFL upgrade? Are there more or less steps and what order do they come in? How long does each one take?
Assuming the time is a question of the amount of data and beef in the server, we're talking about F840's working on volumes that are about 500GB big with 200-400GB of data on them.
Thanks fellow toasters!
