Hello Toasters,
Currently all of our filers are running ONTAP 7.3.x and we are looking at upgrading to 8.x and perhaps buying some disks/shelves that require 8.x. We would also like to convert to 64 bit aggrs to get beyond the 16T size limit.
As I understand it, there is no way to upgrade an existing 32 bit aggr to 64 bit in place, you need to copy the data. Furthermore, you cannot volume snapmirror 32 bit to/from 64 bit.
I presume you can ndmpcopy 32 bit to/from 64 bit. How about "vol copy" ?
Is anyone running 8.x and migrating from 32bit to 64bit aggrs? How are you doing it?
Is the recommended 8.x release stable? Any serious bugs, issues, or gotchas ?
Thanks,
