Why would you want to? The primary driver on Celerra/VNX was to get access to bigger filesystems, right? But with UFS64 the 16TB filesystem size limit is gone, and now you can do at least 64TB without a problem, potentially much more. I would think that you're better off to consolidate those NMFS down wherever possible to simplify administration. You could of course do the same thing on Isilon with a whole different level of scale. 10s of PB without a problem.

not implemented in Unity
why would you need it when now large file systems >16TB are available?
