How to upgrade from Unraid 6.0 beta 3 -> 6.3.0-rc6??

[f451]

Hi,

 

first a happy new year to all of you 

 

It's time for my unraid server to switsch from the  V 6.0 beta 3 to a new unraid version.

I have not done this before, because the system runs without any problem for a very long time and i spend a lot of time to build and configer ~6 VM's running with xen.

For the moment it looks like i can replace all this machines with Docker/Plugins...makes it easier for me 

 

My system runs with 20 Data, one Parity and one Cache drive, so my question is how can i switch the arry configuration to a new 6.3.0-rc6 system??

I ONLY need the array up and running without loosing data!

I can configure the User/Shares/Networks etc again....not a big deal and i know that i must setup and configure all my application running on xen again as docker and plugin.

 

Can i copy the super.dat to a new created USB Stick with the lates Unraid version (i have to licenses) and power on the server with the new stick???

 

Thanks for your help

Shouldn't be necessary to use another USB stick, but you might want to copy its contents to your PC in case there is any problem.

 

See Upgrading to unRAID V6 linked in my sig. It includes instructions for old v6 betas.

You mentioned Xen.  It is worth pointing that support for Xen is not part of the current unRAID releases so at the very least you are going to have to convert your VMs to work with with KVM which is what unRAID has standardized on for VM support.
