Hi
We are deploying DOT 8.1 on a mix of FAS3240, 2240 and 2020 mainly for the snapmirror compability between 32-bit aggr and 64-bit aggr. The systems will be used for CIFS/vFilers and VMware but needs to be very stable as it is critical to serve the users. Initially, we were planning to deploy everything on DOT 8.0 and wait until 8.1 is stable enough before upgrading. However, the new 2240 are all on 8.1 and it may be more of an issue to downgrade to 8.0.
Is it advisable to deploy on 8.1 now for all, or better wait it to be stable enough? Is there any known issues with DOT 8.1 re: CIFS, vFilers and VMware on FCP?
Thanks for your comments
