superloopy1 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) Guys, a quick question. If I move a drive from be array to another will it be accessible and available to the other array without any further action? Is the existing share created when I add the drive or will it need to be set up in advance if adding the incoming drive? Just looking to consolidate two arrays into one to save on power costs, stupidly high here in the UK, and free up the parity disks and hardware. I've got a spare 24 bay server which will take the total drives currently spread across two arrays. Make sense, or not? Edited February 21, 2022 by superloopy1 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 You need to do a new config to add array drives while keeping their data. Quote Link to comment

Will the share on the incomimg drive also be imported, its named differently on the other array so i'm guessing that it will be created and all incoming data will therefore need to be moved across to the resident share on the receiving array?? Or should i just do it ... after backing up of course! Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Shares are just all top level folders, if a share with that name didn't exist before a new one will be created, with default settings. Quote Link to comment
