March 14, 20179 yr I'm loading a new server and I have two backup copies of my server onsite and I was wondering if there would be any speed benefit of copying to the new server from two machines at once. Would that screw anything up and slow things down or can I get the load done a little faster? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
March 14, 20179 yr Two questions, do you have parity set on the new server and does it have a standard 1Gb ethernet port? Oh, and if you have parity, are you using Turbo Write?
March 14, 20179 yr Author I have my parity drives unassigned until I finish the load. I have 2x1Gb ethernets on the new server. Both old servers are Gb as well, all into a Gb switch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
March 14, 20179 yr Might be worth trying, then. Since you don't have parity (and I'm assuming you have modern hard drives in the new server) the gating factor is the network connection at 112MB/s. If you can leverage both network connections and have the old servers targeting writes to different drives in the new server then you might be able to double up. Disclaimer - I don't have hands on experience using unRAID with dual NICs.
