You can still do the transfer. It just has to revert the target (F760) to the 5.3 filesystems first. After that revert is complete, you can do the vol copy.
Then when all the 5.3 snapshots are gone, the volume will automatically upgrade the volume back to 6.0.

I want to vol copy from an F230 running ONTAP 5.3.6R2 to an F760 running 6.0.1R1, but I encounter the following error:
Filesystem version mismatch for destination volume vol1, reverting the version and aborting transfer. A console message will be displayed when this revert is complete.
I can't upgrade the 230 to 6.0, and it's impractical for me to revert to 5.x on the 760. Is there any way for me to vol copy directly from the 230 to the 760?

My understanding is, in that case, I would have to revert ALL of the 760's volumes before the migration from the 230. Although I'm in a test environment at this point--well, half of a test environment--at the time of the actual migration the 760 will have several hundred gigabytes' worth of other volumes already online.
Is there a way to perform the vol copy without affecting the target filer's other volumes?
I would try SnapMirror, but I don't have licenses for it on both boxes.
I'm really trying to avoid the old Unix box intermediary, both because down-time is inversely proportional to speed and because my level of uneasiness is proportional to the intricacy of the migration plan.
