We have been running OnTap 7G for a few months now without any significant glitches. We are using snapshots, snapmirror, NDMP, CIFS, iSCSI, Flex Vols, Flex Clones and Aggregates on clustered heads.

John:

You're behind on your OS rev. Most of the bad bugs are out of OnTap7. I've got tons of clients on it working happily- and we're doing lots of the 'tough' stuff, like qtree and volume snapMirror, snapvault, quotas, iSCSI, FCP, NFS and CIFS, all on the same box and aggregates. Clean as a whistle. I agree that 7.0.1R1 was scratchy- I believe there was a netapp tech bulletin telling people to get off that rev.

The one that makes the most sense for my needs. After my problems with OnTap 7.0.1R1 and quotas and qtrees earlier this week, I'm a bit leary of NetApp right now. OnTap 7G is still shaking out major bugs...
