We would like to increase the size of aggr1 and therefore plan to repalce 2 of the 72GB shelves with 144Gb, 4 of which will be retained as spares, thus giving us an extra 3.4TB of raw space to add to aggr1. Looking at the system configuration guide for the fas940 it states that the max raw aggregate size is 8TB therefore this would take aggr1 over the limit.
Is it possible to create a new aggregate (aggr3) assign the new 144GB drives to it but assign the space to the volumes held on aggr1?
No, it is not. Aggregate space is linked to the raidgroups that exist within the aggregate, limiting an aggregate to physical disks. Also, you cannot remove disks from an aggregate without destroying the aggregate completely.
