Upgrading to a 64-bit aggregate

For storage systems running Data ONTAP 8.1 and later, System Manager enables you to upgrade an existing 32-bit aggregate to a 64-bit aggregate by adding disks to increase their size beyond 16 TB.

Before you begin

•	All the existing disks in the aggregate must be of the same size.

•	You must have sufficient homogeneous spare disks of the same size as the existing disks in the aggregate.

Steps

1.	From the home page, double-click the appropriate storage system.

2.	Expand either the Cluster or the Nodes hierarchy in the left navigation pane.

3.	In the navigation pane, click Storage > Aggregates.

4.	Select the 32-bit aggregate whose size you want to increase and click Edit.

5.	Add the disks and click Save and Close.
