I agree with Tim. Honestly it seems that the KB article has the wrong command listed, or maybe just not enough info listed about using said command. I imagine if you were to add a disk count that would put the aggr over 16TB then the command in the KB might work.
Here is a test from my lab box where the check was performed.
FAS3270A> priv set advanced Warning: These advanced commands are potentially dangerous; use them only when directed to do so by NetApp personnel. FAS3270A*> FAS3270A*> FAS3270A*> aggr 64bit-upgrade start aggrtest -mode check Checking for additional space required to upgrade all writable 32-bit volumes in aggregate aggrtest (Ctrl-C to interrupt)......
Upgrading a volume to 64-bit consumes additional free space in the volume. The following table shows the space usage after each volume is upgraded to 64-bit:
Volume Name Total Used Available Capacity ----------- ----- ---- --------- -------- voltest 100MB 5448KB 94MB 5%
To initiate the 64-bit upgrade of aggregate aggrtest, run this command with the "normal", "grow-reserved", or "grow-all" option.
If you use the "grow-reserved" or "grow-all" option, volume sizes will be increased automatically as needed during the upgrade.
If I ran the commands from the KB I got the same output you did. Running the command as seen above was the only way I could get the check to run.

what about this: priv set advanced aggr 64bit-upgrade start Aggr1
or
aggr 64bit-upgrade start Aggr1 -mode check

Tim, Thanks for fast response

Is the volume already 64-bit? Maybe it is being ignored because it is already 64-bit?

Hi Folks, NetApp Release 8.2.4P6 7-Mode
Running #aggr add Aggr1 -64bit-upgrade check
aggr add: Neither a count of disks nor a list of disks to add to the aggregate was specified.
Running with # of disk seem to be also not running check
#aggr add Aggr1 -64bit-upgrade check 6 Note: preparing to add 4 data disks and 2 parity disks. Continue? ([y]es, [n]o, or [p]review RAID layout) p
Is "check" no longer an option in 8.2.4?
