I have netapp FAS2650 with Data ONTAP 9.3P2, and I want to upgrade the Data ONTAP to 9.6RC2?
is there a compatibility issue or something else?

Thank in advance

At a minimum you must upgrade to 9.5P5 first. Then let bake a day then upgrade to 9.6

Check the hardware universe, check the IMT (interpretability matrix) and finally check the release notes.

To expand on what TMAC said, why not wait until 9.6 goes GA? Also, check out Upgrade Advisor inside of ActiveIQ, that'll help you with what you need to check before an upgrade.
