Melocco Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Ok.. I'll make this quick... I am wanting to upgrade my equipment. I am using a AMD black 3.2gig with 26 gig of ram... If I switch mobo, cpu and ram (i7 or I5 instead of the amd), what would be my best way to go about setting the system back up? I think I will have to reinstall the OS on the flashcard. Right? I know I will have to reinstall the dockers to.. I have the full key, so will I need to reset that? Just wanting to get all my ducks in a row before I order and try to set everything up. Thanks in advance.... Link to comment
ashman70 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 You don’t have to reinstall anything. Take a screenshot of your disks just to be sure. Link to comment
Melocco Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 So I don't have to do. Anything? If not, that's perfect. But I just wanted to make sure. Link to comment

This is true unless you are doing VMs or limiting Dockers to specific cores. There are two basic issues. One is that the # of cores and/or core pairings may be different. And for passthrough of hardware, the IOMMU groups and hardware addresses are difference. It is a good idea for VMs to recreate that VM template on the new motherboard, pointing to the existing vdisk file. Go back to the video or instructions you originally used and go through the process on the new motherboard. And to remove core limitations on your Dockers in the old motherboard configuration, and then rethink those in light of the new CPU once you move them over. Link to comment
ashman70 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 If you are just swapping motherboard and cpu you don’t have to do anything. I would recommend going to the Main tab in unraid and taking a screen shot of all you drive assignments. Link to comment

But for VMs and maybe some Dockers, there will be changes required. Link to comment
ashman70 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Yes, I saw your post, thanks for clarifying that. Link to comment
Melocco Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 So, just so the drives are connected to the mobo (somehow) unraid basically just puts everything back normal... I do have a vm, but I guess I can rebuild it if something happens.. Thanks for the help. Link to comment
