AS far as I know, It is a hard-coded limit into ONTAP with regards to memory structures. It *is* a 32-bit file system and you cannot go above 16TB.
Moving to ONTAP, i.e. MAJOR UPGRADE, the filesystem has been completely redone as a 64-bit File System. You cannot just upgrade the filesystem either. You must use some data movement technology to relocate your date from the 32-bit aggr to the 64-bit aggr.
Things like Snapmirror, volcopy, ndmpcopy, rsync, etc.

Aside from goin up in ontap version to 8 (currently at 726 and going to 733) and upgrading hardware (currently a 3070) is the 16tb aggr size a hard limit ?
