SnapMirror 32-bit vol (32-bit agr) to 64-bit aggr

Hi Guys,

I have read this will work, but want confirmaton from the folks who have done it recently.

Problem statement : I just want to move 'one' volume from 32-bit aggr to 64-bit aggr with in the  same 7-mode controller. Basically, from EOL shelf to supproted shelf.  I don't want to do in-place aggr-64 upgrade, as there are 500 volumes, which are no longer required.

Solution:

1. VSM from 32-bit to 64-bit aggr

This will create 32-bit vol in 64 bit aggr due to VSM.

2. Final update

3. Break SnapMirror = Once broken-off, 32-bit vol should autoamtically become 64 bit.

Is that a correct statement ? and would the shares be available immediately to the users, considering that it's with the same controller and the volume wil be renamed to original.

Thanks,
