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
