Re: Upgrade from 9.3 to 9.7

Excellent!   Thanks for the responses.   Glad to hear this is a smooth
process.

We've got two 6 node clusters  (each cluster = 3 HA pairs) to upgrade.
Snapmirror relationships between each cluster, no cascading to a third
cluster or anything like that.

We've never performed a double ONTAP upgrade during a single
maintenance window so were a bit hesitant when we saw this upgrade
path.   This feedback helps alleviate my concerns, really appreciate
it.  I'll be sure to double the usual maintenance window to allow time
for both upgrades.

Excited to get to 9.7.   I really wish 9.7 included the GA release of
ONTAP S3 but I suppose we'll just have to wait until we get to 9.8.

Happy weekend everybody!
