Question about changing disk controllers.

[Mguilicutty]

I've done a bit of searching and I think this is okay but I'd like to be sure if anyone knows. When I built my FN box I put 6 HDs in a raidz2 config on an lsi2308 controller. I'd like to move them to the onboard intel ich10 controller so that I can populate the lsi with SSDs. Do I need to do anything other than shut down and re-cable? Will FN take care of the rest?

Thanks,
Chris.

Yes, it should just work fine.

You should export/detach the pool(s), do the change and then auto import the pool(s).

Thanks guys, I'll be giving it a go this evening hopefully. On a related note, this would be okay even if the new location spanned multiple controllers wouldn't it? For instance, if I were to put four of the drives on the ich10 and two on a third controller (Intel SCU). I'm trying to preserve sata3 ports for SSDs.

Thanks again!
Chris.
