We are looking into upgrading our Data Ontap version to 6.1.1R2 and just wanted to find out whether there are issues with it or not. We have to upgrade it because I want to use the new DS14 shelf and it is not supported in 6.0.1R3. We have our Exchange, MS SQL and Sybase data on it. Has anybody done this upgrade and how did it went. Any input will be appreciated.

Mustafa,
I have four cluster pairs of F880 filers running DOT 6.1.1R2 with DS14 shelves and 72GB HDDs. I have not seen any major difficulties with 6.1.1R2 since the install. There are some definite advantages to 6.1.x such as alphabetizing the list of commands and the help feature is a little better too. Our install base has been online, in production, about two months now. DOT 6.1.1R2 seems to be very stable.
