Hi,
we last time had a strange problem when upgrading from Ontap 7.1.1 to 7.2.3
The whole content and the solution can be found in this bug report:

This took us about 2 hours to fix. Time that one can save :D
Hopefully i have helped some of you!
Regards
Jochen

As you have clusters, I would recommend first updating to 7.0.6 and then �C if required �C to 7.2.3 or whatever version is available at this time. Then both of them are NDU. NDU between major releases are supported first starting with 7.2.3 and minimal base release is 7.0.6.
Personally I do not see any point jumping through 7.1 additionally.
Otherwise update from 7.0.4 directly to 7.2.3 was quite straightforward.

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=F....
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
