Changing root volume and aggregates - NetApp

Here is the procedure for changing root volume (VOL0) and aggr0 for NetApp Filers

- To do this we need 3 spared disks (Note all disk ID's)
- Priv set advanced
- aggr create newaggr0 -d x.x.x  x.x.x  x.x.x  (Here x.x.x means disk ID's)
- vol create newvol0 newaggr0 337g
- vol restrict newvol0
- vol copy start -S vol0 newvol0 (It will take probably 5 mins to copy)
- vol online newvol0 (Only after copy completes)
- vol options newvol0 root
- reboot (root volume will change from vol0 to newvol0 on reboot)

We will follow this procedure to scrub disks which are owned by vol0.
