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.
