how to modify a pool to increase performance
Hi,
I have a situation in which I have:
POOL1 - 15 193GB devices + 1 1TB device + 4 250GB devices, for a total of ~4.8 TB of storage.
POOL2 - 10 204GB devices + 2 1TB devices + 4 250GB devices, for a total of ~5TB of storage.
So I want to replace this pool with like sized devices, to increase the performance of each pool.
Each pool is a live production database - so I want to be able to perform a live migration.
My first thought was a ifs send/receive action, but that would require downtime.
My second thought would be to modify the pool to be a mirror and let ZFS copy the data,then split the mirror and decommision the original pool.
