1) I have a customer who accidentally added a LUN to an existing aggr that was incorrectly sized. What is the correct procedure to replace that LUN with a correctly sized one? They can't resize the LUN on the existing array as it's out of space. Do I create a correct sized LUN on another array, add it as a spare and then do a disk fail against the wrong sized LUN? I've never tried this on a gateway.
2) Does anyone have some procedures for a headswap on a v-series/gfiler? There appears to be a "black hole" on the NOW site in regards to how-to upgrade a v-series/gfiler.
Is it as simple as -
1) Gather existing v-series head configuration 2) Zone and LUN mask the new v-series head to the existing LUNs 3) Perform a disk reassign ownership on an aggr by aggr basis 4) Create new CIFS shares on new v-series head (only CIFS shares on existing v-series head) 5) Remove old v-series head from DNS (or swap servers in DFS) 6) Add new v-series head to DNS 7) Verify client connectivity
Thanks
