Modifying a File System 6
This section describes how to modify an existing file system’s
configuration. Changes to an existing file system include adding or
modifying a stripe group, adding disks, adding affinities, and
performance tuning.
1 Unmount the file system as described in Mounting or Unmounting a
File System on page 108.
2 Stop the file system as described in Starting and Stopping the File
System on page 107.
3 Make the appropriate changes to the file system. For more
information, refer to:
• Making Global Changes
on page 100
Note: Make sure that each stripe group is associated with no
more than one affinity when using disk-to-disk migration.
Note: When using disk-to-disk relocation you can define a
maximum of two affinities per file system.
Note: This procedure assumes the file system exists with at least two
stripe groups.
