November 11, 20241 yr I've had a bit of a search, but I can't find a definitive answer to this (a lot of results about migrating a ZFS pool into Unraid), and this area has advanced a lot in the last year or so. I've migrated hardware a few times, and it's always been painless with XFS. I now have a ZFS pool (mainly containing appdata), and am wondering what the general process should be for moving it on to new hardware?
November 11, 20241 yr Community Expert It's the same, and it shouldn't be a problem, unless RAID controllers are involved.
November 11, 20241 yr Author Hmmm, RAID controllers are involved. It's going from an IBM x3630 M4 to an HPE Apollo 4200 G10. The last upgrade was HPE->IBM, so I suppose there's a chance that it goes smoothly, but what contingencies should I take?
November 12, 20241 yr Community Expert Solution Make a backup, with RAID controllers unexpected stuff can happen, including destroying the MBR/partitions.
