Change CPG Raid 6 Set Size

Post by mulloyp »

Was wondering if possible can you change the Set Size on a CPG on the fly and if so, how much space is required to make a change like that?

Thank you,
Phil

Are you saying change from, 6+2 to 14+2? If so I believe it can be done on the fly but it will only affect the allocation of new chunklets, not existing ones. If you want to change existing chunklets you'll need a new CPG, DO, and enough space to copy at least one vvol.

That kinda depends on the code level. At 3.1.2, you can change the CPGs set size and it will re-tune existing volumes as well. So no need to create a new one and 'move' stuff about.
