I am looking for the procedure for a fresh install of ontap 8.x-7 mode on new systems. This is so I can re position the root aggr.
Where can I find this information? Also, anything I should be aware off?
Solved! See The Solution
What exactly would you like to do here? Just move the root volume to another another aggregate(set of disks)? Redo the root/aggr0?
It might be easier to ndmpcopy the /etc and vol options <volname> root and have the desired outcome ?

Yes this could be an option. On new 2240s which have SATA in the head I want to move the root vol from pre configured aggrs on the internal SATA to new aggrs on the smaller SAS drives within shelfs. I can then structure the aggrs as I see fit. Once I delete the old aggr0 can I rename the new aggr containing the moved root vol back to aggr0?
Yes, you can.

Thanks. So re naming the arrg will have no adverse affect on the live system?
No.
