Data ONTAP, you should not upgrade to Data ONTAP 8.0 release family.
If you run the following commands with options related to SnapLock, they
will not work and you will see a snaplock license is required message:

v aggr create -L
v date -c

Download of Data ONTAP 8.0 or later releases in the 8.0.x
family on storage systems with SnapLock volume
In some versions of Data ONTAP 7.2.x and Data ONTAP 7.3.x with SnapLock
volumes, you might be able to download Data ONTAP 8.0 or later. However,
Data ONTAP 8.0 does not support the SnapLock feature, therefore, your
storage system will halt when you reboot it with Data ONTAP 8.0 release
family.
