Don't forget to check the exports file if you use nfs... There used to be times where this was not properly updated when doing the procedure you describe. (regarding exporting the root or vol0 volume....all others should still be ok)

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. :)
