This question is relevant. How do I move from a file devclass stgpool to a directory-container pool. And what's the impact on the DB if I do this? I already had multi-site configured for our environment with the tools that exist in versions <7.1.3. I'm not getting another 200TB array to move data to new directory-container pools.
Thanks!
