I have two FreeNAS servers; A and B.
Recently I added one 8TB HDD to each server (single disk stripe) and then set up replication from Server A to Server B.
This has been working fine for a couple of months, but my disk in server A has just died.
This disk has now been physically removed, though I've not yet even detached the volume on server A (so it's currently in an error state). Read only access via server B is working great.
==> Can someone please recommend how the heck I go about replacing the disk in Server A, migrating the data back from server B and hopefully ending up with nice replication working again at the end of it all from A->B (and not loosing the 7tb of stuff that's now only on B)?
----------------
Server A:
FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201511280648
HP MicroServer G7 (AMD Turion(tm) II Neo N54L), 6GB ECC.
Server B:
FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201511280648
HP MicroServer G7 (AMD Turion(tm) II Neo N36L), 6GB ECC.
Both servers are on the same vLAN and are connected to each other via gigabit switch.
Both servers have exactly the same Volume name and dataset layout, namely:
archive8/replication/media/{film, tv, etc}
Periodic snapshots and replication are recursive and use archive8/replication/media as the volume/dataset top node.
---------
Greatest of thanks for any advice; I'm obviously more than happy to provide more information if you tell me what :)
