I'm hearing conflicting information about being limited to 2 versions per hop. Our support team says once we're at 9.3, we should be able to go directly to 9.7.
I guess we'll find out, and I can update this list on how it goes. The update is scheduled for late March.

I would recommend 9.7p10
Be aware that you can only jump 2 versions… so it’s 9.1 to 9.3 to 9.5 to 9.7 😉 I would recommend a pause between each version, and get the latest patched version also… I seem to remember one specific version where the cluster certificate in the downloaded ontap version was expired, which resulted in an upgrade of the cluster never completing… no downtime or anything, but NetApp support had to fix the cluster database… 😊
I have been working with NetApp for 15 years and never done a real production revert in my life 😉. But maybe I’m just lucky?

I've got an AFF8020 running 9.1P10 and wondering whether I should target 9.6P10 or 9.7P10 as the destination version. I'm aware that such an upgrade will require a hop to 9.3 first. I'm also aware that reversion can not skip a release, which is a little scary. I *really* hope I don't have to revert from 9.6 or 9.7 all the way back to 9.3 (3 or 4 hops).
What I'm looking for is advice on 9.6p10 vs. 9.7p10. Any horror stories of either release? I'm leaning towards 9.7p10, just because it's more recent.
