I'm on 6.2 and there doesn't appear to be a way to 'Start' the array with the swapped assignments. I'm getting...
The 'Start' is grayed out and nothing to tick to continue.
I'm presuming, it's not necessary to swap assignments, if I'm keeping track of the drives through the migration.
WAG, but you can't swap assignments if you have both parity disks enabled and valid. Single parity - switching slots allowed, Dual parity - slots not movable without recalculating Q parity. It's not necessary to swap things around as long as you don't use disk specific locations, and even then it's fine as long as you change the assignments to track the new disk number.
Thanks, but I'm only using single Parity. Also don't have User Shares.
Unlike v6.1, v6.2 doesn't allow disk swapping even when using single parity, Tom already posted that this will be fixed on a future release.
Must have missed that discussion.
So, for now if you want to move disk assignments, you will have to set a new config and carefully assign the drives where you want them. Just be ABSOLUTELY positive which drive is your parity drive. You can check the box to indicate parity is already valid, but I would do a parity check afterwards anyway.
Unless you have a pressing need to keep each migration's disk assignments correct, I'd just wait til you are all done, then reassign all disks at once.
Understood, thanks.
