You can suposidly do ndmp copy as well. I never tried it, but upgrading from 32 to 64bit aggrs is supposed to come as well in 8.1. Not sure if there will be any downtime for that aggr upgrade and maybe sketchy at 1st.

Subject: Re: upgrade to 8.0.2
Remember that there is currently no mixing of 32 and 64 bit data using block level tools like SnapMirror. That feature is supposed to come out in 8.1. The larger aggregates and volume sizes are very nice but I can't do anything about my older aggregates yet.

Hi Moshe,
We use datamotion of vFilers with NFS volumes for non-disruptive upgrades and maintenance
I heard this is not yet baked into 8.0x but is expected in 8.x
That said, we are looking forward to 64 bit aggrs (and their new size limits) in 8.x!

http://vmadmin.infoWe are currently running 7.2.6.1P9 on our 3160, and I want to upgrade to 7.3.3 or later. Any reason not to go all the way to 8.0.2? My hardware is all supported (finally got rid of those old disk shelves).
And if we’re upgrading, do you usually upgrade disk and shelf FW as well? Is this a requirement? I seem to be one version behind on most of my FW right now.
Thanks,
Moshe
