Merging Multiple Groups

Hi there,

We've got three arrays, each of which is configured into a standalone group consisting of one member.  This was done for historical reasons which aren't really relevant anymore. 

Assuming I've got them all revved to the same firmware, what will it look like to merge the three groups into one?  Is there a way to do this while keeping volumes intact or am I in a house of pain here?

    So the answer is "house of pain."  Drat.  The good news is I have a brand-new array I haven't done anything with yet so I have plenty of room to replicate things hither and yon.  The bad news is it's going to take forever to do it all.  Does anyone have a suggested method to make this faster?

    Is this still true?  Is it still not possible to merge groups?

    This is indeed still true; you cannot merge groups.

    With version 7 out, is this still the case?

    Where can I find the best practices for configuring multiple members within a group. For example, i have a PS4100(24 x 10K 600GB SAS), PS6000(16 x 15K 450GB SAS), and PS6100(24 x 10K 600GB SAS) that I want to group, preferably in the same Storage Pool, and leverage load balancing to tier the data.
