I don't think you'll have any space issues with 288 gig free. Obviously adding more won't hurt and you can pull it back out when you are done. I seem to recall having some volumes with less free space when I did mine. They were all thin provisioned so I don't know if that makes any difference or not.

thanks Jeff,
The -mode check just completed - took 45 minutes - sysstat -x 1 did not show any increase
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
vol0 300GB 73GB 226GB 24% fcappdata 1536GB 688GB 847GB 44% backup 20GB 4210MB 15GB 20% backup1 3660GB 1941GB 1719GB 53% backup2 60GB 45GB 14GB 75% appdata 2252GB 1986GB 266GB 88% irtdev 70GB 56GB 13GB 80% vm65 3481GB 3193GB 288GB 91% devapp1 30GB 2112MB 27GB 6%
I might grow the vm65 volume before attempting the grow-all
thanks

I did it on a NearStore running 8.1. It worked fine. I didn't really keep track of how long it took since it did it in the background.

Again in the position where my source aggregate is 32 bit and destination is 64 bit and this prevents vfiler online migration.
Last year this was a priv set diag command
aggr 64bit-upgrade start aggr1 -mode grow-all

In test mode, this completed the 64 bit upgrade quickly and without error.
Anyone done this in production? (Ontap 8.1)
thanks
