Answer

  • Yes, the snapshots taken in a new ONTAP version may become unusable if the system is reverted to an older version.
  • This is not always the case, but it is a possibility.
  • To check if there are any snapshots that are not supported by the older version, use the -check-only option as described in the rollback procedure.
