Hi guys,

I’m currently running a number of FAS940 clusters with DATA ONTAP Version 7.0.4  (Sun Feb  5 00:52:53 PST 2006 )

Primarily NFS with some ISCSI.

I’d like to hear back from you re your experiences upgrading to the current s/w releases available on the NOW Site for the FAS940

series system.

http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/software?product=Data+ONTAP&platform=FAS940.

Our immediate options are to take a small step to 7.0.6, move up a little further to 7.1.2.1 or go for the latest and greatest, 7.2.3.

Have you guys seen any issues along the upgrade path to any of the above releases?

Looking at the stats there are a decent number of systems running 7.2.3, however the average run-time days per system

is quite low.

Feedback appreciated.

Thanks,

Philip
