(SOLVED) Move the disk to other Unraid server

[littletiger]

Hi all,

I have two Unraid server,  server A and server B.

Unraid server A has 14 data disk and 1 parity disk.

Unraid server B has 15 data disk and 1 parity disk

For some reason, I want to move the data from server A to B.

Can I direct move the 5 data disk from server A to B. And then rebuild the parity disk in server A and B?

Thanks.

Are you saying you want to end up with 9 data drives in server A and 20 in server B?

 

you would be able to do this if you did Tools->New Config on both servers; assigned the data drives as required; and then started the array to rebuild parity based on the new drive set.

 

what you must NOT do is try and add the drives from server A to server B without going via New Config as if you did that unRaid would treat them as ‘New’ drives and start clearing them thus erasing their current contents.
