Upgrading from releases earlier than Data ONTAP 6.1

Information about the Data ONTAP 6.1 release family you should know

The following sections discuss upgrade issues that you should be aware of if you are upgrading from releases earlier than Data ONTAP 6.1.

Applying the same quota to a user's UNIX and Windows IDs

In Data ONTAP 6.1 and later, both UNIX and Windows IDs can be specified in the /etc/quotas file to track user quotas. If you previously specified a quota based on a user's UNIX IDs, and then after upgrading you specify a quota for the same user based on the Windows ID, these will be treated as separate quotas for the user. To apply the same quota whether the user logs in with the UNIX ID or Windows ID, add the following line to the /etc/quotas file:

QUOTA_PERFORM_USER_MAPPING on

For more information about disk space management using quotas, see the Storage Management Guide.

Restarting quotas

Because of the addition of Security ID (SID)-based quotas in Data ONTAP 6.1, you might see a warning message about correcting quotas if you upgrade from a pre-6.1 version of Data ONTAP.

If you see a warning message, restart quotas by completing the following steps.

Step	Action
1	Turn quotas off using the following command: quota off volume
2	Turn quotas back on using the following command: quota on volume

Step

Action

Turn quotas off using the following command:

quota off volume

Turn quotas back on using the following command:

quota on volume

Pre-6.1 snapshots might need to be deleted

If you are upgrading from a version of Data ONTAP earlier than 6.1, you should delete any pre-6.1 snapshots due to changes made to the SnapMirror® feature in Data ONTAP 6.1.

Clustered filer disk firmware upgrade procedure changed

The procedure for updating a cluster's disk firmware changed with Data ONTAP 6.1.1. To update the disk firmware on clustered filers, follow the disk firmware updating procedure in the Cluster Guide for your filer model.

Local administrator account nonexistent

After you upgrade from a version of Data ONTAP earlier than 6.1.1, when you reboot with CIFS enabled, you might see a message that the builtin\administrator account does not exist. Add a local user named "administrator" to resolve this issue. For information about adding a local user, see the File Access Management Guide.
