@nik0chan Thanks for the confirmation / update.
Yes, you are correct, that’s pretty much the cause of this here. An install will pick-up it’s appliance id upon install and this will remain constant for that install. So in your case the 2 motherboards do in fact have differing product_uuid’s and so an install on each would result in differing appliance ids.
One of the simplest options is to just re-install on the drive you moved over. This might be a good time to try the new Rockstor 4 DIY installer if you haven’t done so already of course:
Just a thought. And I’ve now closed the related GitHub issue opened on account of this report. Thanks for the post here, it helps to highlight the sticky nature of an Appliance ID.
Thanks for the extra info and your quick response. Let us know if you go the 4 route as it’s now the future anyway so you might as well take this opportunity if it’s not too impractical.
Hope that helps.
