Expanding Volume

Hello,

I'm running XSAN 2 on two xserve raids. The first xserve raid has 2x250GB mirrored drives for metadata. The second xserve raid has 7x750GB RAID5 on each side.

The Volume is composed of a single data storage pool composed of two 3.5TB LUNs.

I have enough 500GB drives to fill the unoccupied side of the first xserve raid. I understand I can't use this new LUN to expand the existing storage pool because the Luns are different sizes. However, I could create a new storage pool and conisting of this single LUN, and add that storage pool to the existing volume, correct? I have no affinities set up and am not particularly concerned about performance (no video editing).

My intuition tells me this is a bad idea. Could any of you give me an idea of how bad an idea this is?

Thanks,
Elijah
