Checking the RAID type and config
In this example the aggregate has two disks and is a R4 configuration.
testfiler01*> aggr status -r aggr1
Aggregate aggr1 (online, raid4) (block checksums)
Plex /aggr1/plex0 (online, normal, active, pool0)
RAID group /aggr1/plex0/rg0 (normal, block checksums)

Checking the spare disk on the controller:
testfiler01*> aggr status -s
There are a couple of spare disks that can be used to add to the aggregate.

Change the aggr option
a. Verify the aggr type and size
testfiler01*> aggr options aggr1
root, diskroot, nosnap=off, raidtype=raid4, raidsize=7,
ignore_inconsistent=off, snapmirrored=off, resyncsnaptime=60,
fs_size_fixed=off, snapshot_autodelete=on, lost_write_protect=on,
ha_policy=cfo, hybrid_enabled=off, percent_snapshot_space=5%,
free_space_realloc=off
b. Changing the aggr type from 4 to DP
Note: The default Raid group size will change from 7 to 14 hen changing from R4 to R DP
testfiler01*> aggr options aggr1 raidtype raid_dp
Aggregate aggr1: raidsize is adjusted from 7 to 14 after changing raidtype.
testfiler01*> Wed Jun 19 12:27:54 CEST [testfiler01:raid.config.raidsize.change:notice]: aggregate aggr1: raidsize is adjusted from 7 to 14 after changing raidtype
Wed Jun 19 12:27:54 CEST [testfiler01:raid.rg.recons.missing:notice]: RAID group /aggr1/plex0/rg0 is missing 1 disk(s).
Wed Jun 19 12:27:54 CEST [testfiler01:raid.rg.recons.info:notice]: Spare disk 1a.03.4 will be used to reconstruct one missing disk in RAID group /aggr1/plex0/rg0.
