Planned upgrade to OMV

1. offizieller Beitrag

    Hi there,


    Quick question regarding my planned over haul of my server.


    I started running OMV aver 4 years ago and set up my first RAID. The project went smooth and the OS running ever since with no issues. I decided it was time to look in to updating to a newer version of OMV. I would like to know what considerations I need to make with regards to my RAID drives and data on them when doing this update. Can i simply pull the data drives out, install the new OS, configure it then reinstall the drives and have OMV see them as they do now?


    I know my way around a computer enough to get in and (sometimes) out of trouble but having only dealt with RAID this one time was curious on the process.


    Thanks in advance

    This is what I would do:


    • make a backup of your system drive (just in case you have to go back)
    • make sure all your plugins are available in OMV 4 (OMV-extras)
    • make screenshots of your configuration; additionally safe config.xml for reference, if you like
    • shut down server
    • unplug your data drive
    • install OMV
    • plug in your data drive
    • star up the server (OMV should autodetect the RAID)
    • do the configuration


    Remark: a lot or users prefer to use plex in a docker rather than using the plugin (I use still the plugin, though), I am afraid ryecoaaron might drop the plugin soon
