<html><body><p><font size="2">Prasad,</font><br><br><font size="2">One of the clients I work with have several 5.0.X ESS (owning) clusters and they share 4.2.3.9 file systems to remote client clusters. </font><br><br><font size="2">The minimum release level on the 5.0.X clusters are at the version of the cluster, i.e. 5.0.3 or 5.0.4 (we are in the process of getting all to latest).</font><br><br><font size="2">The key is that the clients are not part of this cluster as a node has to be > minReleaseLevel to be able to join.</font><br><br><font size="2">They are in their own (accessing) cluster which has a minReleaseLevel of 4.2.3-9. This is the current (until September withdrawal) minReleaseLevel that is supported in this scenario.</font><br><br><font size="2">Don't know specifically about import but it should work as long as the clients that need to mount the sub-5.0 filesystem can be in a separate (remote) cluster or the client nodes are upgraded to the minReleaseLevel of the local cluster. </font><br><br><font size="2">Thanks,<br>Steve</font><br><br><font size="2" face="Arial">Steven A.
