So go the volume all moved. Went well. However, I just realized that vol0 is on aggr0! Argh. Is there any way to relocate vol0 safely while the filer is running?
I guess I could snapshot it, vol copy it to aggr1... what would be the side-effects though?

There's no side-effects that I know of, it's a normal vol copy, afik. The new volume won't be the "root" volume until you give it a: "vol options newvol root" though; once you reboot your filer newvol is then root.

FWIW I did the following:
- aggr0 is the old aggregate I need to get rid of containing vol0 which is the default root volume currently
vol create root aggr1 90g ndmpd on ndmpcopy /etc /vol/root/etc ndmpd off vol options root root aggr options aggr1 root
At a later time I'll perform these steps:
reboot vol offline vol0 vol rename root vol0 aggr offline aggr0 aggr destroy aggr0 aggr rename aggr1 aggr0
Then I should be able to remove my shelf and hopefully all will be well. :)

Follow-up on this... everything went well. I would like to have tried the disk fail option, but this method went quite smoothly and only ended up being a few minutes of downtime.
Thanks again to all for the assistance!
