I was able to move the FreeNAS configuration over by saving it to a file on one of my desktop systems and then after it picked up a DHCP address on boot up I uploaded the old configuration and it came up showing my old iSCSI targets to my Virtual environments as well as my NFS shares!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Well this was quite the overhaul! I had to customize and drill some additional holes into some old rails (get new cobalt bit from Home Depot) I have, got some smaller\u00a0 screw heads since this new case was a bit wider, jump over to Fry’s get some cables to take internal fans from 4 pin to 3 pin then get that heavy beast up in the rack and cabled. I also had to take the chassis out to the garage and clean it since i got it used. I also added a couple of 50mm fans at the back of the case in addition to the 4 high volume fans that came with the case<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am happy with the functionality of the new unit and the hot swap capability with the 6gb SAS back-plane I can now make use of a source I have found for some decently priced 6gb\\s SAS hard drives. The only complaint I now have is that the noise level has gone up considerably mostly due to the 3 x 400W Power supplies.<\/p>\n
