Migrating from WHS to WHS 2011 + DrivePool

mparter

Hi,

I'm upgrading my WHS server by installing WHS 2011 and DrivePool. I don't have a massive amount of data (approx 1TB). I copied this over from the DE shares onto a 2TB hard drive.

My drives for the WHS 2011 setup are;

- 320GB system drive

- 500GB storage drive

- 1TB storage drive

- 2TB storage drive (the drive with all the backed-up content on it currently)

When I add the 3 storage drives to the storage pool. I presume I then move my server folders over to the pool. Is it then a matter of "copying" the data on the 2TB drive to the shares so that it's all in the correct locations? I presume DrivePool will balance the storage out for me?

Thanks.

Yes, that will work, and it will balance as it goes (according to the free space on the drives).

Thanks, all worked out ok.
