Hey all,
First time posting here, I hope this is the right place for this topic. If you don’t want to get bored by my recap, scroll down for the question.
Recap:
I am currently in the process of changing from RAIDZ1 to RAIDZ2, for this I have moved my existing SMR disks into a spare machine and have installed the newer CMR disks into the machine that was already running TrueNAS SCALE.
I then installed TrueNAS scale on the spare machine and imported the data pool, and on my existing machine I setup the RAIDZ2 array and configured a brand new Dataset.
I’ve setup a replication job which is running right now (Will take a while to finish, 9TB of data), and so far everything seems to be migrating across smoothly.
My SMB and NFS shares are referencing the old datapool, I assume I can easily rename this when all the data is copied and it will continue working as it did before as all the users and groups are still on the machine.
My question:
How do I migrate all my apps/containers across? It seems that all config will be in the datapool because it is being replicated, but it looks like I have to install it the applications one by one, as opposed to “importing” them. I’m trying to avoid this headache because I am running four containers and they took quite a long time to get right.
Thanks in advance!
