I’m considering moving my Rockstor install to new hardware.
My plan is:
Go to System > Config Backup on the old machine, and export the config.
Install Rockstor onto the new machine (which will be a newer version than my old machine), move all my data disks over, then import the config file.
Is it that simple - and am I missing anything? Does the config file contain all the info about my disks/pools/shares/RAID/etc?
Depending on where you had your Rockon Root (e.g. on the OS drive and not the pool) you might have to pre-create that one as well, otherwise the Rockon restore portion will likely fail. Or, e.g., a transcode directory for the Plex Rockon was created on the OS drive (that’s how I had done it, since the OS drive was an SSD and the storage drives were not).
But, apart from the above considerations, it should be that easy. I would recommend, since the next stable release is not quite out yet, to move to the latest test (5.0.13-0) before the restore, as there was a small bug in the config restore in one of the earlier test releases.
