February 22, 20197 yr So I am migrating my system from a amd APU based system to a dual socket 2011 server For some reason my existing usb key will not boot on this system. I am trying to get that figured out, but I have another question. If I created a brand new usb key for unraid, no config or anything. Put my drives in the new system, then assigned thoses drives to the array without formatting would everything come back up? I know i would need to rebuild my dockers and plugins, but that is not a huge deal. just as long as I don't loose my data. I am using an encrypted XFS array at the moment.

So long as i assign the drives exactly as they where before, i should be fine. Will it just pick up that the array is encrypted and ask me for the pass phrase?

I think the issue is this "older" hardware is not playing nice with whatever UEFI data is on the key now. A fresh key boots no issue, so if i could just get disk assignments and so on, that would be awesome. If not i will proceed with a fresh key

February 22, 20197 yr Author @liquidator Thanks for the help. moving the config did not work, but i am ok with that. Got the system up and working on rebuilding my dockers now. Thanks.
