Release difference
RC: Release candidate have been tested internally but have not reached the minimum number of installs on production systems to be granted GA status. They are production ready and supported bij Netapp Global Services (7.3RC1, 7.3RC2, 8.0RC1, 8.1RC1) GA: General Availability: when an rc has completed all certifications and has caused nog significant problems with customer usage Point release: A point release is based on a GA release and includes a small number of bug fixes (7.2.6.1, 7.3.1.1, 7.3.5.1) P: Patch release are used to deliver bug fixes in a timely manner D: Debug release: deliver hot fixes on an urgent as needed basis. R: Revision release: These are releases that may be created in cases where a critical fix needs to be deployed to all customers

Disruptive/nondisruptive
Dr are best when you can schedule downtime DR 7.X > 8 NDR infamily upgrades (7.3.2 > 7.3.6) NDR 7.3.x > 8 DR when system is actively serving CIFS to clients DR when you need to upgrade disk in RAID4 aggregate

12

Determine Feasibility and potential issues


Compare current version with the new version by reading the Release Notes Read the upgrade guide Verify free space in aggregates (< 96% full) (df command) Verify free space in volumes with LUNs Run the HA configuration checker (cluster configuration checker)

13

Determine feasibility and potential issues


Identify SnapMirror/SnapVault source and destination systems and record relationship information Run the Upgrade Advisor tool
req; System must have a valid support contract System must be enabled to send autosupport messages to Netapp

SAN environments verify components are still compatible using the interoperability matrix tool Verify all hosts are multipathed and the multipath connections are working

14

Create a checklist
Checklist reduce errors and gives the customer confidence in the process Use the config dump command to backup the current configuration Take snapshots of the root volume and all Snapmirror/Snapvault volumes Use the logger command to insert comments into the system log Capture the options setting to a text file before and after the upgrade Check for the latest versions of system firmware for your system (sp status) Determine the required firmware for your disks and disk shelves

15

Performing the upgrade


Download the correct install package Halt or abort Snapmirror, Snapvault and dedup processes Verify system configuration and cf functionality by rebooting or performing a takeover/giveback Upgrade using the software update command Use a HTTP server to transfer install packages and firmware Install firmware packages that were released after the latest GA version of Data ONTAP

16

Known Upgrade Issues

Upgrade Issues
Snaplock remains unsupported until Data ONTAP 8.0.1 32-bit to 64-bit aggregate conversion still requires date migration SnapMirror/Snapvault restart checkpoints deleted during upgrade The replication sessions will restart at the beginning Manual editing of the /etc/rc required (upgrade process does not change vif to ifgrp

18

Post Upgrade

Post Upgrade
Test client access for every licensed protocol - failure is often due to changes in the ONTAP options - Make the customer perform the testing

Test cluster failover functionality
