Expanding an aggregate - existing volumes

If I have a aggregate with say 16 spindles with RG size 16 and I add another 16 spindles i.e. I end up with two equal raid groups.

Do existing Volumes / LUNs get spread across ALL disks or do I have to run a command to achieve this?

i.e. I don't want to get hot spindles and want load equally shared.

If so what is the command and what performance impact does this have?

There is no automatic redistribution. You need to manually run "reallocate" command.
