ONTAP 9.9.1p1

Hello,

 

We upgraded one of our systems to Ontap 9.8 and are not too happy with the new slimmed down GUI.

 

Is there any major changes to 9.9.1p1 that make it better to use than 9.8?  Trying to figure out if it is worth upgrading.

 

Thanks

I had a post here complaining about the sabe when I went to 9.7. Even opened a case and apparently NetApp intent to make some improvements.

 

Take a look here, maybe it will tell you if there is any improvement that would address your concerns:

You could also check the LOD for 9.9.1 and see for yourself: https://labondemand.netapp.com/lab/sl10658
