Can I move my HDD from unraid pro to unraid basic without losing data and configuration

[Lin]

Hi all,

 

I have a server running unraid pro. This server and unraid key were purchased by the company. The hard disk in the server was purchased by me. Now the server will be returned to the company. So I need to migrate my hard drive to a new server.

 

My question are:

1. Can the hard disk under the pro key be used under basic? Cuz, a basic key can fullfil my requirement.

2. Is there any tutorial on how to move old HDD to new server with new key? I don't want to lose any data and configuration. I hope the new server will be exactly the same as the old server after booting. 

3. Is there any tutorial on how to reset the old server? I need to return a unconfigured server to company.

 

Thanks in advance!

Yes.  Just do a NEW CONFIG (Tools) to add the drive and parity will rebuild.  There is no difference between keys other than the maximum number of drives they support.

 

To reset the config, just delete the contents (except for the *.key file) of /config on the flash drive.

Thanks mate. 

 

Thanks to Cyber Monday, I got a better solution. I bought a new prokey and returned to the company.
