This question is relevant.  How do I move from a file devclass stgpool to
a directory-container pool.  And what's the impact on the DB if I do this?
 I already had multi-site configured for our environment with the tools
that exist in versions <7.1.3.  I'm not getting another 200TB array to
move data to new directory-container pools.

Thanks!
