October 28, 20223 yr Hi Folks Can I have a sanity check on my migration please? Migrating from ML350P Gen 8 HP server to a new 12700 Intel Asrock Z690 PG Riptide solution. The original array was operating as XFS using SAS disks. My new array will be ZFS and SATA based. The cache drives and unassigned devices, graphics cards and PCIE USB3 controller will be physically moving. The original SAS disks (XFS array) won't. :-) Whilst I assume I could just network transfer the files from old to new using a 'temp' license on the new until completed, I also assume I could drop a PCIE SAS card in to the new server in order to read the individual original array member disks and transfer the files directly off one at a time onto the new ZFS mounted array on the new server? This will save time on the transfer at 1G (although I could have bought an add-on 2.5G card for the HP. To be sure...I don't need to mount the original array on the new server to affect a solid transfer? All the data is stored on the member disks and thus I just need to copy from them...no need to bring over the parity drives? Thanks! Mo Edited October 28, 20223 yr by M0CRT
