If the 270 is in fact a clustered 270 (270c), then the 2nd root volume
would need at least 2 disks for the 2nd head, but would still do all
aggrs and flex vols, at least for the first/primary head and leave one
spare for the shelf.

re-zero the disks and create an aggregate.
then, the root vol, vol0 can be any size you
want within that aggregate, and you can
then create/remove/resize other volumes
for your production data.
we create a small (20G) vol0 as root in the
root aggregate on every filer, and use the rest
of the space for one or more FlexVols or FlexCache
vols within the other aggregates.
