Classification of NetApp Releases
http://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/products/ontap_releasemodel/PostJul2010.shtml
Patch (P) Release
A patch release delivers timely fixes for bugs that customers encounter. The majority of customer-requested bug fixes are delivered through patch releases rather than debug (D) releases. P releases are not available before the release is classified as GA.
- Fixes for customer-encountered bugs.
- 1-2 months build frequency.
- QA regression testing of fixes.
- Significant fixes in a P release are in all subsequent maintenance releases for that feature release family. P releases that are provided after the maintenance release has gone into final testing phase are added to a subsequent maintenance release. Exceptions are clearly communicated in the public report for the controlling bug.
P releases typically follow the previous major or maintenance release—for example, 8.0.1P1 or 8.0.2P2. However, if there is a revision (R) release or a limited (L) release in the interim, the P release numbering is based on the R or L release instead—for example, 8.0.1R1P1 or 8.0.1R1P2.
Debug (D) Release
A debug release is an exception hot-fix release that is used on an urgent, as-needed basis. These releases are not normally planned and are provided only in case of extraordinary need.
- Provides a specific change for a specific customer.
- Changes do not automatically roll into the next maintenance release.
- May be deployed for customer who can’t wait for a P release or the next maintenance release.
- Not classified as a GA release.
- Provides fixes that are urgent and cannot wait for the next P release.
- Have limited testing.
Revision (R) Release
A revision release is an emergency release that is used when a critical fix needs to be deployed to all customers. NetApp recommends that all customers running the previous release should upgrade to the R release immediately. NetApp provides these releases only when it assesses that there is no alternative way to provide the fix in the short term to a wide range of customers. For instance, an R release might not be provided if a maintenance release is coming out soon.
- Generally triggered by a severe bug that affects a significant number of customers.
- QA regression and explicit testing of fixes.
- All fixes in a revision release are included in the next P release and maintenance release on this release family.
Ontap 8.1.4 is missing? Released 12 december 2013
February 10, 2014 at 4:28 amONTAP 8.1.4 is a general availability release. I was leaving those off as they’re documented in the normal software change log.
February 10, 2014 at 8:54 amJust want to leave some greetings from Germany!
This blog saves me a lot of time in my daily work.
Thanks alot!
December 18, 2014 at 3:57 pmWhat is the RC2 ? Data ONTAP 8.3RC2 can be used for production support ?
January 23, 2015 at 1:45 pmNetApp will state that RC code can be used in production, however I’d still advise against it unless the controller you’re using is required to use that code level (some of the newer systems would force using a later version). 8.3 is long anticipated, however is cDOT only.
February 6, 2015 at 6:05 pmHave you heard any rumors when 8..3 GA will be released?
March 12, 2015 at 11:08 pmshould be hitting soon, i don’t have any exact dates though

August 3, 2017 at 10:46 amIs there a ballpark date for when ONTAP 10 is expected?
August 19, 2017 at 12:06 amONTAP 10 isn’t in the roadmap right now for a release date, if it’ll even get released. ONTAP 10 was actually ONTAP GX before cDOT existed. Next release is 9.3.
November 24, 2017 at 5:44 pmHi,
Please suggest which ontap version i can upgrade first to have 9.1P5 version, currently i am using 8.3.2P5 version, Can i go directly to 9.1P5 or need to upgrade 9.0 and then 9.1P5?
August 29, 2017 at 12:58 amThe NetApp upgrade advisor is the best thing to run prior to doing an upgrade. This will let you know if you need any releases in between. There are restrictions somewhat depending going from 8.3 to 9.1 should be fine.
November 24, 2017 at 5:43 pm9.1P14 is released on 5 juli but in the list 9.1P9 is the last one (in 9.1P11 the CVE-2016-8610 OpenSSL Vulnerability) was solved so woth to mention.
July 24, 2018 at 10:56 amHi guys, I looking for a direct link to ONTAP release included bug-fixes. I had that link and don’t know how, but lost it. I was a plain html list with url including ontap version, as I remember, now user login into mysupport.netapp.com was required, just a plain list of burts fixed in that release.
Does anyone had that cool link? Thx a lot!
