Sorry Adam, I used the wrong verbiage.
I meant when the disk is added...not replaced.
For now, ONTAP does indeed right-size a disk down to the size of the disk that it is replacing.
thanks.

No. You can't replace disks in an aggregate that way. If you do, they will sized down to the size of the disk they replaced.

Hi toasters,
currently i am testing with my simulator and searching for a way to do the following:
- have a raidgroup with 5 disks
- the two parity-disks plus one data-disk are 100 MB (net)
- two other data-disks are 35 MB (net)
I want to replace the 35MB-disks with bigger ones, but everything i tried left the "new" disk in the raidgroup with a used size of 35MB.
Is there a way to replace a small disk with a bigger one and use the complete size of the disk without destroying the whole raidgroup?
Regards and thanks in advance
Jochen
