Migration Question: 6.4

[J.Nerdy]

I am a little confused with the documentation and forums posts I have  read regarding migration.

 

I wish to move unRAID to a new mobo/cpu combo (amd to intel) but keep the same parity and share disks.

 

This I understand is simple plug and play (took screenshot to make sure disks are assigned by serial correctly).

 

I am currently using a cachepool (btrfs) of two disks (3 Dockers and no VMs) and wish to replace these disks with new disks.

 

Can I do this at the time of the initial swap?

 

Should I make the swap first and start the array to make sure all is well?

 

Do these instructions apply:

But since you're running a very new version, how about this:

 

1. Stop your dockers and VMs.

2. Disable docker and VMs in Settings, and switch off array auto-start.

3. Set the shares that are present on your cache disk to "Use cache disk: Yes".

4. Run the mover.

5. Check that the cache disk is now empty.

6. Stop the array and unassign the cache disk, then power down.

7. Replace the cache disk.

8. Power up and assign the new cache disk, then start the array.

9. Format the new cache disk.

10. Change the shares that you want on your cache disk to "Use cache disk: Prefer".

11. Run the mover.

12. Check that the cache disk is no longer empty.

13. Enable docker and VMs in Settings, and switch on array auto-start if preferred.

14. Start dockers and VMs.

You can replace cache at any time and those instructions are correct
