Hi, I would try the following to minimize the downtime
I will asume that the filesystem /Npbsunh2 corresponds for example to c5t6d0s4
0) Stop your non-global-zones (Start your maintenance window)
1) Umount Filesystem
2) Create a concat metadevice
metainit -f d51 1 1 /dev/rdsk/c5t6d0s4
3) Create a simple mirror
metainit d50 -m d51
4) Mount the filesystem but pointing to the mirrror metadevice
mount /dev/md/dsk/d50 /Npbsunh2
5) Start your non-global-zones (Here end your maintenance,window aprox 10 min)
6) Create new concat mirror to teh new disk/slice
metainit -f d52 1 1 /dev/rdsk/c10t0d0s1 (this is the new disk)
7) attach the second concat to the mirror
metattach d50 d52
8) monitoring the sync progress
9) when the sync is at 100% dettach the original disk
metadetach d50 d51
10) Now the filesystem live in the new disk
Notes:
Obviously you first need create the metadb slice if not exist
Later yo can grow the filesystem if is needed,
