I'm a long time user of Stablebit Drivepool and I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer for.
My current setup is this:
Primary server:
Windows Home Server 2011
(4) 4TB HDDs (pooled into one drive space, 16TB total)
Backup server (mirror copy of the primary's storage)
Windows Server 2008 R2
(4) 4TB HDDs (pooled into one drive space, 16TB total)
So, what I'm thinking about is doing away with the backup server and moving those HDDs over to the primary server. BUT...I still want to keep the two pools separate.
So, my question is...if I move those backup HDDs over to the primary...will Stablebit Drivepool automatically recognize the pool they were in on from the backup server...thus having two Drivepools, a primary and a backup.
Or...am I going to have to bit the bullet and format the backup HDDs, then move them over and create a new Drivepool from scratch?
