Fresh Install Want to Swap HBA Controller

[MotorN]

I want to swap the HBA controller.    Is it just a matter of physically swapping the cards or is there more configuration required.     I just completed setup and parity and would like to continue configuration but won't have a required cable to swap the HBAs for a week or 2.

 

TIA

As long as both HBAs report the serial numbers of the drives in the same way then the swap will ‘just work’.

Thanks for the reply, I was able to source cables locally and will pick them up tomorrow.    Just to clarify "serial numbers of the drives in the same way", does that include and require the same order as well.    I currently have 4 x 6TB HDDs and 2 x 800GB SSDs connected.

Unraid does not care where drives are physically connected.  It simply recognises drives using their serial numbers.
