I've got a new cluster in, running the latest and greatest ONTAP version. For reasons, the predecessor cluster is running a 'stable' platform, and hasn't been tracking the most recent updates. It's a snapmirrored cluster. I'm trying to figure out migration routes now. Is there any equivalent of 7-mode -> CDOT TDP replication, or am I going to have to bite the bullet and do an update on the source cluster to a newer version? And if so, because the snapmirror relationship that already exists, does that mean a 'stepped' approach of 8.3->9.1->9.4 (to 9.5 potentially) because that's what I'll need to do to preserve the snapmirror relationship with the replication partner? I'm not overly keen on pushing up a major version number on both our prod/DR environment but if the choice is that or 'rsync/xcp' then I'll probably go with that. I am just hoping there's a migration-assist option that means I don't have to do that, analogous to TDP from 7 mode. _______________________________________________ Toasters mailing list [email protected] http://www.teaparty.net/mailman/listinfo/toasters
