Migrating Server to a Dell T320

[herculepirate]

I am looking for instructions on how to migrate from one server to another.

I have a custom built server but moving to a Dell T320.

I have a 1TB Cache drive, 8 HDD's and PLEX and LMS are loaded and run on-boot.

Can anyone help me with step by step instructions on this migrations.

Thank you.

Assuming no RAID controllers are involved you just need to move the disks and flash drive to the new server.

Thank you. What if there is a RAID Controller.

Can I disable the RAID Controller from the BIOS and proceed.

Thank you.

If you have enough ports without the RAID controller, yes.

Otherwise it may be possible to flash the controller to IT mode, some can, some can't.

Worst case if you need the ports you should be able to add a compatible controller.

i have done the following:

- Deleted the virtual disks on the DELL T320 and set the drives to NON-RAID.

- I have booted using UEFI mode and used my existing working USB and the boot does not happen.

The server has been flashed into IT Mode.

Any help please.

Try booting in non UEFI mode, some Dell PCs have issues without botting Unraid UEFI.

I don't use UEFI mode on my T320, it just didn't work so legacy mode and it's fine.
