32 bit aggregate to 64 bit aggregate Migration

32 bit aggregate to 64 bit aggregate Migration



Data ONTAP 7-Mode 8.1 and later

Identify 32-bit aggregates and run a check to see if the volumes are sufficient:

  filerA> priv set advanced
  filerA*> aggr status


Perform the upgrade with add disks:

  filerA> priv set advanced
  filerA*> aggr status
  filerA*> aggr add aggr1 -64bit-upgrade normal 12 ( 12 is number of disks)

Perform the upgrade with-out add disks::

  filerA> priv set advanced
  filerA*> aggr status
  filerA*> aggr 64bit-upgrade status aggr1 -all



Another way to 32 to 64 bit


If there is any existing aggregate in 32bit.
just create one aggregate with 64 bit
Create one the Volume in the 64 bit aggregate.
Then migrate all the old volume to the new Volume through NDMP protocol.

Fas > aggr create aggr2 -b 64 15(No of disks)

Fas > aggr status aggr2

Fas > vol create vol2 aggr2 100g

Fas > ndmpd on

Fas > ndmpd –l 0 –f /vol/vol1 /vol/vol2

    1. Hi Dude,

      In netapp default raid type is Raid DP, if it is sata disk it will create one raid group.
