Hi All,
I am wanting to transfer my pool (3x2TB drives in RAIDZ1 on FreeNAS 9.2.1) to new hardware based on an ASUS P10S-I server motherboard. I have installed the latest 9.10 OS onto a USB drive and it boots up fine.
I would like to make sure I am transferring the volume correctly, is the procedure this?
1. On old system, save config to Laptop.
2. On old system, do a scrub and export the volume (either via GUI or console "zpool export")
3. Physically add disks to new hardware.
4. On new system, Boot up and "Import Volume" from GUI, (or "zpool import")
5. Restore config file from Laptop.
6. Do a scrub.
I am not sure if 4 & 5 should be reversed, or if it does not matter.
Appreciate a confirmation of the above before I do it ....
Many Thanks,
