Increasing storage size

[GChuck]

I've looked on this site for a definitive answer to my question, but most of what I've found is ambiguous. So here is the question.

I have a four volume pool consisting of 4 2TB drives in a zraid2 configuration. I want to increase the size of this pool by changing out the 2TB drives with 4TB drives. My plan is to "fail" each 2TB drive in turn, replacing it with a new 4TB drive and resilver. Do this for all 4 drives and I should end up with a new pool twice as big.

Will this work? Are there any special steps that need to be done?

I used to do this all the time when using hardware raid on my company ProLiant servers.

Thanks.

None beyond what's documented in the manual.
