RE: Ontap 7.2.6 is under investigating

Personally, I'm waiting for this one to cook a little longer (safely
hiding behind 7.2.5.1p6).  If you're already running 7.2.6 I'd say there
isn't a lot of downside for you to upgrade, in fact I'd recommend it as
there are some pretty nasty panic situations that might affect you. (see
below)

1. Bug ID 267622: This can panic the storage controller during boot
if an error causes a not-fully-initialized syslogd to need to report the
problem, and/or if any of the following conditions match:
        -Lookup of a hostname specified in the /etc/syslog.conf file
fails
        -The root volume is full
        -The /etc/syslog.conf file is misconfigured and contains invalid
entries

2. Bug ID 318070: This affects only FAS270 systems with expansion
shelves using ESH4 modules and where there are issues or configuration
changes with those shelves. This results in a panic of the FAS270
storage controller.

3. Bug ID 324637: Under some circumstances, if a file with Windows
NT ACL (access control list) is opened for overwrite by a CIFS client on
a storage controller, it can cause a panic. This requires a high
load on the system for quotas to be enabled, and for a Windows NT ACL to
be associated with the file that is opened for overwrite by a CIFS
client. Due to the high load, the Windows NT ACL buffer could
potentially be recycled before it is used, leading to a panic.

Has anyone deployed 7.2.6.1?

It is GD but wanted to get some feedback - I had a lot of problems
with 7.2.6 but it resolved my backup pains so I didn't down grade.

Thanks.
