Greetings,
Is there a way to go from 7.3.5 to 8.1.2 without having all the aggregates start doing automatic conversions to 64 bit?
Our current filers are getting hit pretty hard. I think the OS upgrade will help, but I'm afraid the aggregate upgrades will generate too much disk activity and slow things down for a day or two. We have ~9 aggregates per head that are 10T or larger. Most of these only have one volume in them. The shared ones have a few volumes with 40M+ inodes in use. If I can upgrade the aggregates selectively it will make it less noticeable to the users.
Thanks,
Jeff
