Planning to Upgrade Isilon OneFS from 8.0.0.4 to 8.0.0.5

Dhirti

Unless you are looking to obtain specific items from 8.0.0.5, I recommend the current Target Code base which is 8.0.0.4, it has a very high level of visibility to obtain patch fixes, 8.0.0.4 is also the most widely adopted version of the 8.0.0.x family. 8.0.0.5 support many of the patches and fix added after the 8.0.0.4 release, but not all of them, additional patch fixes are being released.

8.0.0.5 /8.0.1.1 have a known issue that impacts AUTH for HDFS / Swift / PAPI / REST /API workflows. the behavior is not present in 8.0.0.4. Bug  204435 . Another known issue is documented in KB 499319 Both are resolved in 8.0.0.6 / /8.0.1.2

Apply the following patch for 8.0.0.x to 8.0.0.5 incl, included in 8.0.0.6.(in addition to other available patches):

Patch-199071: Patch for OneFS 8.0.0.0 - 8.0.0.5. This patch addresses an issue where OneFS does not support Chelsio drivers for Amphenol and Extreme Networks (Tyco) SFP+ modules.

8.0.0.5 is a great release, it includes a lot of resolved issues from 8.0.0.4, minus the issues mentioned above. Both releases allow you to roll out resolution for BMC / CMC with Node Firmware v9.3.5 and DSP v1.20 (Non-Disruptive Disk Firmware Updates)

Hi Dhriti,

You can always check release notes to see what fixes have been applied and if there are still any known issues.
