move current HDs to new controller - possible?


Recommended Posts

I've outgrown my server and have bought an external chassis to house existing drives (and new ones down the road). I've purchased another controller that will be configured for JBOD mode. Are there any issues/concerns moving existing drives to a new controller? I think I need to ensure whatever drive # it was in the pool stays the same; same for the parity drives.

Yeah, that is HBA IT only so you won't have to do a thing in software.  Just plug-and-chug.

Just an FYI - I read the same thing... that I didn't have to update the firmware to P20. But, my drives weren't detected when I fired up unRAID. After updating the card to the P20 firmware, I was able to see the drives
