With that many files, I think Richard Sims is on target as to where your problems will arise. Your database will grow quite a bit, but you can calculate that from the Admin Guide formulas. Our DB is over 100GB and it runs fine, so just throw some disk space at it and it will be fine. One thing

I would use the suggestion of redirecting the destination of your storage pools to the new devclass for 3592s. Another option is to create the new pools as orvile sugested, directing all new data there. Also, at this point change the reclaim stgpool for your old 9840 pools to the new pool.
