A common conundrum for IT infrastructure teams is storage life cycle management. There are multiple challenges to maneuver like addressing compatibility issues, minimizing business disruptions, avoiding major outages, and mitigating risk. To avoid possible gut punches, the NetApp IT team has established a standard program to bring structure and rigor to their data infrastructure, including ONTAP 9.1 cluster upgrades to the latest version (e.g. 9.7). Learn about the techniques, dashboards, lessons learned, and insider secrets on how NetApp IT manages upgrades to their 100 PB storage fleet that supports hundreds of corporate applications.
