What does this mean..?

[LIGISTX]

I am currently copying all of my data from my old Nas to my new freenas server through windows, and I noticed the transfer was stopped and this is what freenas console showed, I have no idea what this means.

Also, looks like my freenas IP changed.... It was on dhcp which I very much plan to change, but I wonder why my router would let the server IP expire/not renew it? I assume this may have lead to the file transfer issue, I am just not sure.

And then I figured, ok, I'll set it up to be static, well Windows freaked out and I couldn't continue my file transfer so I set it back to dhcp, and now freenas has 2 IP's on the same nic. Wut. Is that even a thing...? And both IP's will bring up the webui.

Also, I am running the three machines on their own lan, no internet access here. I wanted to make a local network for this transfer to happen over to make it go as fast and with as little issue as possible since my NAS this data is coming off from is actually in a degraded software RAID 6 on my old open media vault nas. Kinda sketched out that a drive may fail while I transfer my 16TB of data. They are the infamous fail all the time seagate 3TB's, the specific model name I am blanking on at the moment.

Hardware specs and freenas version?

Setup your nas to use a static ip and your problem will be solved. I do this using mac address on my router or you can do it via the freenas UI making sure the IP you assign isn't part of the dhcp range of your router.

A. Set a static IP address for your server. Make sure it's an IP that your dhcp server cannot dish out.

B. Connected to the internet or not has no bearing on the speed of the local transfer.

Another question is why you are trying copy via Windows?

If your old NAS has zfs on it, creating a snapshot and using zfs send | ssh user@newnas zfs recv would be a more efficient way of doing it.

Alternatively, if your old NAS is not zfs based, can you use rsync instead to pull the data from it to the new NAS?

I got a used supermicro server, X8DTE iirc, dual L5520's, using the mobo nic, and I forget the SAS card info. I really need to get this info in my sig.

I did make it static via the webui, and that is when Windows couldn't find the server any longer which was strange... But since I am in the middle of the migration I didn't want to even worry about what that issue was about. Once the important data is transferred I will try and figure out why it decided to have 2 IP addresses and why the static number didn't work, no reason .251 wouldn't have worked....

Yea, the IP I tried was outside of dhcp's range, really not sure what it didn't like.

And I know having an Internet connection will not alter the speed, I purely meant I wanted this to be in its own network, not hopping through the 3-4 switches I have on my main network and very long Ethernet runs. Just wanted to put it in a very localized network to get the data transferred easily without any other network traffic slowing it down.

The old Nas was XFS under open media vault. From my understanding I wouldn't be able to put those drives into freenas and copy them over in that manner.

I probably could have done something with rsync, but I am not familiar with that yet, and like I said I am trying to get the data moved as fast as possible. It is going at ~850-900 Mbps tho, so while it may not be the most efficient, that isn't too bad.

Say whaaaat? What kinda NICs you running?

Ahhh, NVM I misread it as MB... :)
