WHS2011 - what are pros and cons of upgrading from V1 to V2

[Arthur]

Great news to see V2 now also supports WHS2011, and it would make sense to have just one release going forward for both WHS2011 and WS2012.

 

This leads to some questions about planning to upgrade from V1 to V2 which I suspect will be answered in an update to the Blogs when V2 goes to release status, but I cant wait.

 

Does this mean V1.3.3.7563  is the final release?

 

And should we start planning to upgrade from V1 to V2?

 

What are the differences or pros and cons between the two versions?

 

In particular is there any functionaility currently in V1 which is not available in V2?

 

Does the DrivePool.Service.config need changing?

 

 

Thanks, Arthur

Thanks drashna - However what I see in the screenshot is that the underlying disks are balanced (I have the disk space equalizer installed), but the UI display does not represent what is "underneath"??

Ah, you do have the Disk Space Equalizer installed. If that is the case, then try doing the "Re-measure" option.

Thanks for the tip - that fixed it earlier this morning
