Turn on back my OMV 0.5.60... need advices to migrate to new server/release?

Hi,

I've turn on back my OMV 0.5.60 Sardoukar!

All looks running correctly!
There was a check of file systems, and of my logical volume built from four 1TB disks (3.64TB), at the boot:

Checking file systems... fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
4TB1 has gone 1352 days without being checked, check forced.
4TB1: 199255/244195328 files (4.3% non-contiguous), 671121010/976760832 blocks done.

My current OMV 0.5.60 runs on P4 3.80GHz CPU and 8GB RAM but I've a some RAM modules or slots defects.
Thus I'd like to build a new OMV 4.1.3 on a another "server" more recent (i5 quad-core 3.20GHz), where I can run additional servers/services via docker.

Which is the best way to migrate my current OMV 0.5.60 to a new server running OMV 4.1.3?

My first option could be to export OMV settings to be able restore my 4TB logical volume built from four 1TB disks?
About that I found the post (Re)Installation of OpenMediaVault speaking about "config.xml" file and these steps:
- Make a backup of your config.xml which is located here /etc/openmediavault/config.xml
- Shutdown your NAS
- Unplug all data disks
and re-installation of OMV.
Can I use this way to move disks and migrate logical volume settings to a new server, running OMV 4.1.3 (or running OMV 0.5.60 and upgrade it to 4.1.3)?

My second option could be to make a backup of my data (my entire 4TB logical volume), and restore it on the new OMV 4.1.3 server.
Which plugin/tools do I have to use to do it?

And another option should be to make a copy of my data (my entire 4TB logical volume) on an external disk, and copy it manually on the new OMV 4.1.3 server, where I've build a new 4TB logical volume from my four 1TB disks.

Thanks a lot for your help and advices
Chris

Zitat von raulfg3

some assumption = 4x1TB disk = 4TB Logical Volume = You use RAID,

So your Raid must be detected and you only need to mount in a clean new fresh install. <- Be carefull to mount and do not "create"

Thanks a lot raulfg3.
I've mounted the LV, and it appear correctly inside "File System" (from "Storage" menu).
Before that I've installed LVM2 plugin (my Logical Volume was correctly detected before I mount it).

After mounting it, I've added it into etc/fstab too.

Now, I've to restore my shared folders!

Does someone know how to do it?

I've tried to add a share (for testing) but none device appear in the field/list... do you know why?

I think I'll have to migrate all users accounts also (from old server to the new one), to recover permissions on my shares.
Do you have some advices about that?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi raulfg3,

I've checked my old and new OMV server (I switch both system disk, between old and new, on the same server), and none of my own folders are inside /srv/ or /sharedfolders/.
There is a "ftp" folder inside /srv/ on my old or new server, and an empty /sharedfolders/ folder on my new server only (no /sharedfolders/ folder present on my old server, could be because it run OMV 0.5.60 under Debian 6.0.10).

On my old OMV (0.5.60) and new OMV (4.1.17), SMB share service is enable only, and all my shares are where the LVM is mount:
/media/[LVM-UUID]/
with the sub files/folders:
aquota.group aquota.user documents lost+found multimedia technology
(my own share folders are "documents", "multimedia" and "technology")

I don't understand what do you ask me to check about "what folder are mounted your raid"... it could be /media/[LVM-UUID]/ about I speak above?
I've no RAID settings on my server.
Are you sure LVM = RAID?

Do you know how can I restore my old shares on the new server?

Do you know why when I try to add a share (from "shared Folders" OMV page) there is none device which appears in the field/list... usually my Logical Volume should be listed?

Thanks a lot for your help
Chris

Thanks a lot raulfg3 and ryecoaaron.

I'd mounted it manually and added it in fstab.
I've rollbacked and mounted it via the Mount button from File System, and that run correctly!
Thanks

Now to finish I've to restore shares and accounts.

Can I migrate shared folders settings, as well as users accounts and groups to the new OMV server?

If I can restore shares/permissions, another option could be to create same users accounts and groups, keeping original UID and GID.

Or I can reset all permissions on all files/folders inside my shares, manually or via the resetperms extra-plugin.
Then I'll rebuild all shares and permissions with new users accounts and groups.

Do you have some advise?

Thanks,
Chris
