If you wish to reallocate existing data to new disks added to an aggregate then this can be done at the volume or file level using the full reallocate mode (-f), e.g 'reallocate start -f /vol/VOLNAME'.
Aggregate reallocate coalesces free (unused) space, which is not typically what you want in cases like this.

Hi,
I had to add just 2 disk to an existing aggregate. I suspect those disks will end up being a performance bottleneck, so I tried to start reallocation of the aggregate:
toaster> reallocate start -A aggr0 Unable to start reallocation scan on 'aggr0': Aggregate created on older version of ONTAP
What's the best way to proceed?
