Hi folks,

not having much experience with these arrays, I'm seeking some advice. Currently the box is set up consting of three RAID 1 groups with two hot spares available. I wish to add space to my datavg to allow for filesystem growth and propose using one of these spares for this purpose. I know that this adds a risk in terms of redundancy, but am willing to take that risk. In my naivity, I'm assuming I can take the drive out of the hot spare pool and add it to datavg then chfs my filesystems to use the additional space. Does this sound reasonable? Any gotchas to watch out for?
