dtomgr Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 In the next days I will upgrade my motherboard only and add some HDD Drivers (expand my storage) . I don't wont to loose my configuration or any Dockers / VM's I have already installed. What should I take care for , in order everything to work as it was ? Quote Link to comment
SSD Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 It is fine. UnRaid literally reinstalls Linux, and your plug-ins with every boot. In essence, to unRaid, every boot it's on a new motherboard. Your Dockers and VMs are independent of the motherboard, and we'll also work fine. Quote Link to comment

Due to motherboard change ? I believe i should keep the same configuration on SATA Drives (HDD) 1-4 etc sda /sdb ... on new motherboard? Quote Link to comment

No. Just make sure you adjust all the bios settings on the new MB... to boot from the flash drive and what ever else needs to be changed Quote Link to comment
DZMM Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I think before you dismantle the old system, make sure you set the array to not autostart. That way you can deal with potential problems like discs not connected properly or recognised in the new system 1 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Array won't auto start with a missing disk. Quote Link to comment
dtomgr Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 All good guys ! Everything worked perfectly! Motherboard changed without any problem , and all the new disk were recognized Thanks! Quote Link to comment
SSD Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Great! Always good to run a parity check after a major event to see that if runs successfully with no disks dropping offline or parity errors. If that runs, you will have even higher confidence that everything is functioning properly. Quote Link to comment
