The 8.1 system already has 64 bit aggregates.
The issue I am seeing is 
1 - create 64 bit volume to receive snap mirror from 7.3.5.1 system
2 - issue vfiler dr configure srcvFiler@sourceFiler to initiate the snap mirror 
3 - at some point the 8.1 volume 'flips' back to 32 bit.

We are eventually planning to use data motion to non-disruptively migrate the vFilers from the 7.3.5.1 cluster to the 8.1 cluster, then upgrade the 7.3.5.1 system to 8.1

Its not clear how to end up with 64 bit volumes - I heard 8.1 was supposed to have in place 32->64 bit migration?

thanks
Fletcher.

I thought Fletcher was asking about the conversion of an aggregate (and the volumes within).
If you want to migrate your volumes from a 32 to 64 bit aggregate you can use VSM (Volume SnapMirror) starting from ontap 8.1...

Qsm, won't convert, but you can copy from 32 to 64

Hi,
We're testing out Ontap 8.1RC2
Can someone point out/describe the procedure for converting volumes from 32bit to 64bit?

thanks
Fletcher
