NFS Staging Store

[Logan Barfield <lb...@tqhosting.com>]

I am attempting to increase the size of our NFS staging store because we
have several customers that want to create snapshots of 1TB+ disks.

Is it possible to simply add a second staging store to a zone to increase
the capacity?  Or would I need to add a larger staging store, then remove
the old one in order for it to work?

If I have to replace it completely, is there a way to convert the data in
the current staging store to a new one?  If I remove the old one, will it
automatically clean up any data there?

You should be able to replace the secondary storage. The procedure should be in the administration guide.

You should be able to either provision additional storage to a zone or replace the existing storage with a larger one.
