I installed 7.1 on three 270, two 920 and on two 3020 (Metro)clusters all with iSCSI, FC, SQL, Exchange, Oracle (CIFS/NFS/SAN), Snapmirror/SnapVault
not one problem so far
but we don't use quotas
don't wait for an inplace migration from traditional to flex volume you won't get it

We've been running 7G for a few months now with only one CIFS issue that was resolved by 7.03. Have setup Aggregates, flex vols, snapmirror, snapvault, CIFS, NFS, iSCSI, quotas, qtrees, ATA disks, clusters all on 7G. Have done several 6.x to 7G upgrades as well recently with migration to flexvols without any issues.
Now if only NetApp were to come out with 7G that allowed an inplace migration from traditional to flex vols...

We have been running OnTap 7G for a few months now without any significant glitches. We are using snapshots, snapmirror, NDMP, CIFS, iSCSI, Flex Vols, Flex Clones and Aggregates on clustered heads.

John:
You're behind on your OS rev. Most of the bad bugs are out of OnTap7. I've got tons of clients on it working happily- and we're doing lots of the 'tough' stuff, like qtree and volume snapMirror, snapvault, quotas, iSCSI, FCP, NFS and CIFS, all on the same box and aggregates. Clean as a whistle. I agree that 7.0.1R1 was scratchy- I believe there was a netapp tech bulletin telling people to get off that rev.

The one that makes the most sense for my needs. After my problems with OnTap 7.0.1R1 and quotas and qtrees earlier this week, I'm a bit leary of NetApp right now. OnTap 7G is still shaking out major bugs...
