Building new box want to reuse greypool drives.
Posted: Sun Jun 24, 2012 3:13 pm
Ok so I'm going to rebuild my Amahi server and have a couple of questions. I did some searches and couldn't really find what I was looking for. I want to rebuild the server with a newer mobo, processor & memory but using the same drives for the storage/greypool. So my question is there any good direction on how to do this without losing all of the data? I realize that I will need to reload the OS/Amahi on the new setup, but will I have to copy all of the data off of the drives & then put it back? I could find anything that said about moving greypool dives to another setup if they will retain the data. I can backup all the data but was looking at trying to keep the downtime to a minimum. Any ideas or places to look or ideas to search on to help with this would be great. Thanks for any help.
