Appreciate if someone could give me feedback that the process I'm about to follow will work ok.
I'm currently moving my server duties from a machine running WHS11 to a new machine running win10 (I don't need domain controllers, client backups etc etc yet).
Old WHS11 machine has 4 drives all drivepooled and mapped as P: Covecube scanner also running.
steps to take:
1. Install stable releases of drivepool and scanner on W10. Enable 30 day licences.
2. On WHS11 machine deactivate licences for Drivepool and Scanner
3. Transplant 4 drives to new W10 machine.
4. Add the 4 drives to drivepool.
5. Somehow, automagically, drivepool will recognise the old drivepool settings from the WHS11 machine and recreate same drivepool (as P:) ???
6. Check for consistencies/anomalies, correct as required.
7. Run scanner adding drives as required. Not sure if scanner will have to recheck all drives (currently being reported as healthy under WHS11). I assume it will have to.
8. Enable licences etc.
9. Be happy!
Is that it?
As a follow on I have installed Hyper-V within the W10 setup. That is working just fine. Question: Will the various VMs I create be able to see the pool as one large pool as well as read/write/delete?
