March 25, 201610 yr Hi All, excuse the inaccurate title, it was a little hard to describe my scenario and thanks in advance for any help people can provide. So I bought all new hardware for my server, new mobo, cpu ram etc. of course i will still use all my old drives however in pulling them all out one of the sata connectors on a drive broke, so i will need to replace. No big deal I think, ive done that a million times and proceed with getting the new server setup. Once its up an running i cant connect via the web GUI, long story short turns out the NIC (killer e2400) isnt supported on the version i was running 6.0.1 I then discover that the NIC is supported in the latest stable release 6.1.9 My question is can i do the upgrade to 6.1.9 in the middle of doing this hardware change and having a dead drive? or will I totally break everything?
March 25, 201610 yr Community Expert Usual advice is to only change one thing at a time but sounds like that may be difficult in your situation. I guess you could try to put it all back in the old hardware to do the drive rebuild but considering you managed to break a drive connector getting it out in the first place it must not be a very easy setup to work with. It should work fine to do what you propose. Just copy bzroot, bzimage from the new zip then boot up and see what happens. It should show your broken drive as missing and let you select another to rebuild. Sounds like you are already familiar with the process.
March 26, 201610 yr Author Thanks Trurl, in the end I picked up a cheap PCIE network card, threw that in and I'm up and running. I will wait to rebuild the drive in a day or two and then perform the upgrade to 619.
