1. Create a new volume on aggr2 of the same size as
aggr1
2. Do a volume snapmirror of aggr1 to
aggr2
3. When ready to switch to the new aggr, do a
snapmirror update
a. Ideally you would turn off
CIFS
b. Rename the volume containing proj-CFD
to some other name
c. Rename the new volume to the name of
the old volume containing proj-CFD
d. Restart CIFS
4. If you can't turn off CIFS, then the rename will cause
your shares to follow the old volume, so you will have to delete the old shares
and create new ones.
5. Resize the new volume.
If you want to restrict the QTree to a specific size within
the volume, you can setup a QTree quota..
Hello experts,
I am very new to the netapp world. Sorry if
this has been answered already or if it sounds stupid.I have the following
situation,
What we have is a FAS940 with DS14MK2
shelves(3nos).
There is a qtree "proj-CFD" which is 200GB in size and the
containing volume is 500GB. The volume is 90% full. I have been asked to
increase the space for the qtree to 400GB. Previous admin created the
aggregate(Aggr1) with a raidsize of 8 and there are two raidgroups with 8disks
in each raidgroup.
I have three spares and adding these to the current
aggregate would create another raidgroup of 3 disks and i will be left with 1
usable disk (we have raid_dp) and also i will have no spares left.
But
fortunately there is another aggregate(Aggr2) with a raidsize of 16 and there
are 14 disks in that aggregate now. Now my question is, how can move the
"proj-CFD" qtree to a volume in Aggr2 with minimum downtime and keeping all the
ACLs intact(It is ntfs only).
Thanks
