Just my 2 cents.. Not sure if it is written in the doc, but when you do a fail over to the partner, and you have FC type luns, wait at least 10 minutes before failing back over. Also, we usually update the firmware on the disk/shelves prior. Stop all snapmirrors or just turn it off so nothing is in transit during maintenance. I make a copy of the /ETC for safe keeping, and if you have CIFS, I usually export my shares.. We follow to doc and are usually good with the upgrades. Good luck, and may the DOT force be with you.

Hi All.
I have a FAS3210 appliance with NetApp 8.0.2. I would like to update it to 8.1.2. In http://support.netapp.com/ (My AutoSupport) I see there is a "Upgrade Advisor" section. There is a step-by-step howto. But are there any good documents about updating this software? I would like to make as few mistakes as possible, I will do it for the first time ;)
Best regards, Rafal Radecki. _______________________________________________ Toasters mailing list Toasters@teaparty.net http://www.teaparty.net/mailman/listinfo/toasters
