Hi,
I've just brought all new hardware to upgrade my aging NAS. I was wonder what would be the least painful way to upgrade?
Old System
FreeNAS 9.2.1.3
HP Microserver N40L 8GB non-ECC
2 x 3 TB RAID 1
2 x 1 TB RAID 0
CIFS Shares
iSCSI Targets
FTP Server
RSYNC Jobs
UPS Service
New System
Supermicro Motherboard MBD-X10SL7-F-O
Intel I3-4340
4 x 8 GB Hynix Memory
6 x Seagate NAS HDD 4TB SATA
Sandisk 4GB Cruzer USB Stick
Fractal Design Newton R3 600-Watt Power Supply
Fractal Design Arc Mini R2
Would this be the best way?
1. Burn new Hardware in for 2 weeks
2. Install FreeNAS 9.2.1.3 on USB Stick
3. Move old HDDs from old system into the new one
4. Restore config from old system (Hope this picks up the old drives?)
5. Set up new RAIDZ2 on new disks
6. Copy data from old drives to new
7. Re-point file shares, iSCSI targets, Rsync tasks, FTP Server, UPS USB Port
8. Remove old disks
Will that work?
Thanks in advance
