[Removed physical disks and borked WHS2011's Dashboard]

Umfriend,  I am using version 1 and can not open drive pool. - Thanks though.

 

I'll tell you this, If you screw up dashboard you go nowhere fast!

[Removed physical disks and borked WHS2011's Dashboard]

Here is what I did:

Physically removed two HDDs that were part of  a drive pool.  No back ups or important data were on them, just one shared folder (movies) that were not moved prior to removing the HDDs.

 

Here is what happened:

Dashboard will not open, not even in safe mode.  All other server features work.

 

Not knowing what I am doing, I have placed the drives back in the machine and still no joy.

 

Any ideas or suggestions to repair dashboard?

 

Thanks

[Remove pooled drives to place in different machine?]

I have an existing, unduplicated 2 drive pool that I want to remove from one machine and install in a different machine.

 

Do I remove each disk from the pool then install them in the new machine and add them to a new pool?

 

Or If I remove them from the existing pool will the new machine read the pool part file and work from there?

 

Also, once I remove the disk from the pool do I have to delete the pool or since no disks are part of it will it be deleted automatically?

 

[Delete PoolPart Folder?]

I restructured my Drive Pool in April and everything has been working well since.

 

I have a previous "Poolpart" that has not been modified since April.

 

Win explorer shows it as an empty folder, but when clicking properties, it shows 1 file and three folders totaling of 129 bites (4KB on disk).

 

Can this be safely deleted?
