I agree with Arek, although we have moved data with snfsdefrag between pools
then normalized once old LUNs/Pools have been retired to save from having
downtime.  But that's possibly the most tedious work I've ever had to do...
If you can find a time to bring the SAN down and do it manually I would do
so.  Added benefit of doing that is you truly defragment the volume.
