Been a while since I checked, but I'm pretty sure that aggr add is the command he's looking for.
You can set the raidgroup size down to the number of disks you currently have, then add a new RG - but it will be the same size as the current setting.

Certainly, just specify explicity which disks you want in the aggregate:
aggr create aggr300gb -d 12@300
See the output of 'aggr create<return>'

Yup, you're right, you want to use the 'add' form of the command, but the basic idea stands, just add the names disks to the aggr, and you can force them into a new raidgroup as well.

Yeah, that will do it as well, since you could just bounce the number back up and add in the rest of the disks. Maybe not as ideal is specifying a new raid group when adding disks, but not bad either.
