Hey community,

 

I'm looking to upgrade from my q6600 setup to a i7 3930k setup. In a new 4224 Norco case. With 9211-8i and Intel re24 card.

 

Will I loose my setup if I transfer all the hard drives and the USB to the new build?

 

Is there a proper way to migrate when adding new raid/expander?

 

Thanks!

AJ

Nothing to do.  Just set up the new system;  move your existing disks to it; and boot with your current USB Flash drive.

 

That's all there is to it 

Apologies if this is a thread hijack but it seemed better than starting another.

 

I've been running my little atom based server for the last 6 years, and whilst it has literally "served" us well, I'd like to play around with VMs etc and as such will be upgrading some hardware (inc motherboard and cpu).

 

Do I understand correctly from the above reply that with UnRaid 6 there is very little to do and that the below wiki entry for v4&5 is no longer relevant?

 

Thanks in advance.

With v4 you had to manually assign your disks.  With later versions the disk assignments are by serial # on the drives, so the configuration stored in the flash drive will automatically find them when you boot on new hardware.

 

I DID assume the OP was running a reasonably current version of UnRAID => if that's not the case, then you do indeed need to note your disk assignments; and will have to reassign them on the new hardware.

 

Best approach if that's the case:  Upgrade to the newest version of UnRAID ... THEN do the hardware upgrade.

 

Thanks Gary,

 

Sorry for the hijack OP but seems it answers your question.

its all good that helps,

 

thanks everyone!
