Andiroo2 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Is it possible to get a temporary license upgrade (plus to pro) to facilitate a hard drive upgrade? I am actually looking to decrease the number of drives in my system, but to do so I will need to attach the new, larger drives and migrate data before removing the old ones. This will put me over 12 drives temporarily. thanks, Andrew Quote Link to comment
Solution JonathanM Posted July 23 Solution Share Posted July 23 No, but only attached devices at array start count towards the license, so you could start the array, then attach the drives using Unassigned devices. Why not just do the normal method of replacing the current drives one at a time? Then the removed drives would be an exact copy, so if something goes wrong you have a full backup.

Andiroo2 Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 If I replace and resilver larger drives into a ZFS pool, will the pool eventually show the higher capacity once the smallest drive is removed? Quote Link to comment
