Data 2540 volume expand and solaris zfs grow

Hello I hope everyone is having a good day!

Situation:

2540 with 3.6TB of usable space
volume A is 2.6TB
volume B was 1TB

Volume A is mounted via a single lun on a solaris server and is running out of space.

Volume B was used on another server but is no longer, I deleted the volume in CAM.

Is it possible for me to expand volume A with what was in B and then expand the zfs file system on volume A's server without losing the data on its zfs pool?

Please help, thanks!

I thought it was pretty explanatory.

What else would you like to know?

Attach the "volume B" as another LUN to the solaris server and then add it to ZFS pool using "zpool add".

And the pool is only a single device as it is, so this would concatenate correct?

is this the only way? Thanks btw

Yes. It will concatenate those devices. It is the safest/most reliable way.

Thanks bartus, i went that route. Like you said it is the easiest. Besides the 2540 is managing the raid5.

Do you know of any issues with having a zpool with a single device lun coming from a 2540 that is already a raid5 device?
