Good morning all. I am in the process of building my V1 SAN for media storage in house, and i am already thinkg ov the V2 build... Currently, there are 8 250Gb hdds and 3 500Gb disks. the 8 250s are in a RAIDZ2 array, and the 3 500s will be in RAIDZ1... At the moment, the current case is quite full. i am looking at a 20 drive hotswap case, which i plan to order soon. when the time comes, and i start upgrading the drives to larger drives, say 1Tb drives, would it be easy to migrate the contents of the RAIDZ2 array to the new Array? I see mentions of ZFS Send and ZFS recieve, but i have no idea if they would do the job...
if you can expose both disk arrays to the host then you can replace (zpool replace) a disk (vdev) one-by-one. Once you replaced all disks with larger ones zfs will automatically enlarge your pool.
