I have a 13 disk volume that is 600 Gig in size. I also made the raid group 13 disks originally when I first got the Filer in. Its a FAS 940 running 6.5.4. With 56 (72) gig disks 13 disk volumes divided out nicely after subtracting 2 for vol0 and 2 for spares.
Now that I'm running 6.5 its time for DP. I've got 3 spares now and want to convert the 600 Gig volume to DP.
I upped the raid group on the volume to 14 and plan to issue the command to DP Sunday morning.
The volume is 60% full. We run Oracle on it but all DB's will be down Sunday at 7AM. How long will the convet take? I understand the entire volume's parity will need to be recomputed yes?
Anybody have a similar environment and situation?
TIA
