Looking for help/direction on reallocating deduplicated volumes. Have a FAS2040 running 7.3.6 and adding an additional DS4243 shelf with SAS drives and want to extend current aggregate by adding a new raid group created with the new disk to the aggregate. On this aggregate I have volumes that are deduplicated and have snapshots. I have read several NetApp documents that seem to conflict on running reallocate on the volumes after adding the new disks to the existing aggregate. I have read you should reallocate but not on a volume that is deduplicated. I have also read that if you use the -p switch this will be OK, reallocate start -f -p /vol/VOLUMENAME.
Will I have problems if I run reallocate on my deduplicated volumes?
Thanks.
