Change Motherboard from Intel CPU to AMD - best approach ?

Guys,

I have a running OMV6.

The system is an Intel i3 on an old ASUS motherboard.

I am planning on replacing that with a newer board - ASUS B550m (i need the extra PCIe slot for 10G ethernet) with AMD Ryzen 5

The system boots off a dedicated SSD - all important data is stored on a RAID1 seperate disk set

I intend to image the current SSD before doing the upgrade - but do not believe it will be able to reconfigure the kernel etc on the fly to recognize the new hardware (may be lucky)

Assuming it does not boot - is my best bet to reinstall OMV from a USB key and then restore a backup for the actual config of shares, users etc ?

If so which backup method/plug in etc is the best for this scenario ?

Craig

Aaah bugger - thanks for the quick response.

I was hoping that the backup would handle it all (if i had to fall back on it)

Guess i will get it back here and tear into it and see how i go - will report back - thanks

Is there any way to do a dump of the current config in some form of text format so i could go through a reconstruct if i have to - or are a series of screenshots as good as it is going to get ?

Craig

Good Man !! Thank you - will check that out as a possilbe recovery route if needed

Just an update to close this one off.

Went from an old ASUS M81 motherboard with a Intel Core i3 chip to a new ASUS 450M TUF gaming board with an AMD 3200G

The system went straight across and booted up with no issues - i did have to have console access to run

to enable it to recognize the new network adapter and assign the same static IP address to it and then all was well

Thanks for the help on this one guys
