Main reason for the upgrade in Jan is to replace existing A200, H500 and F800 with new Isilon nodes A300, H700 and F710 nodes. Support recommends to update firmware of existing nodes to 9.7.1.4 before adding new Isilon nodes to the pool.
Things went smoothly during upgrade. So far no issue. Right after upgrade, I need to reconfigure the following settings again.
1) SNMP node restriction got reset. Manually select node 1-4 again (In our environment, we only allow SNMP trap from A200 nodes. The A200 nodes handle only NDMP backup; the only VLAN for those A200 nodes)
2) SNMP v3 is new feature and selected auto in alert channel for SNMP. Manually select SNMP v2 for our environment
3) SMTP setting is reset back to the manual settings (nothing required since it is populated with the same SMTP info)
New features
1) IPv6 feature is new and enabled by default
2) New feature for Transfer Limit at 90% for spillover pool. I guess it will not fill it up if pool is 90% full and there is other pool with space less than 90%.
3) Support Assist is required for SCG in future OneFS.
4) Firewall
