Move fabric pool enabled aggregate to new disks

Hey there,

we've quite some fabric pool enabled aggregates and would want to move them to different disks. As far as I can see, there's no good way to do that. Using vol moves will require to download all the data from our S3 backend and re-upload it on the destination aggregate then.
So say we want to "upgrade" our fabric pool aggregate from 12x1TB SSD to 12x4TB SSD and let's further assume that we have 20 volumes on the FP-enabled aggregate with a total of 1PB of storage in the S3 backend, do we really have to go through downloading and re-uploading all the data or is there an easier way (besides adding the new disks to the aggregate in the first step as spare disks and manually failing disk by disk) and afterwards increase the capacity in the raidgroup by addiding additional partitions?

Best,
