Hi,
A bunch of IBM NSeries 3220 (NetApp FAS2240-2) OnTap 8.1.2p1
I'm about to start adding 2 disks to a bunch of NetApp systems - 2 disks into each system to expand CIFS shares. I will need to run reallocate to spread the vols in the expanded aggregates. There are around 30 vols in each aggr, some tiny and some a couple TB.
Reallocate start -f -p /vol/<vol>
How have you handled reallocate of a large number of vols in a aggr?
Would you just start them all and let them run?
If not doing them all at once, I could script them one at a time from AIX via ssh, but I don't see a "-w" (wait) option to allow easy single threading. I would need a loop to monitor for a particular reallocate cmd completes before starting another. I'd rather not get into that much scripting effort.
Note that there is snapmirror and snapvault running every 6 hours on these vols. I don't want to hit the systems so hard that these have problems.
Thanks!
Rick
