We are running 8.1.2 on a FAS2040. Is it still true that the only supported method of upgrading an aggregate to 64-bit is to add disk to take it beyond 16TB? Is it not possible to add disk but the resulting total size being less than 16TB and still upgrade?</SPAN></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">Jason</SPAN></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:58:46 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/Aggregate-In-Place-Upgrade-to-64-Bit/m-p/64917#M4476 jasonnash 2025-06-05T05:58:46Z Re: Aggregate In Place Upgrade to 64-Bit https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/Aggregate-In-Place-Upgrade-to-64-Bit/m-p/64922#M4477 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Yes.&nbsp; The only supported method is to grow over 16TB.&nbsp; There have been some posts about the unsupported method if you search but I wouldn't run the diag commands on a production system.</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 10 Jul 2013 22:12:21 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/Aggregate-In-Place-Upgrade-to-64-Bit/m-p/64922#M4477 scottgelb 2013-07-10T22:12:21Z
