Am I able to transplant an existing ZimaOS drive, into a new machine without resetting everything up? If I just disable the data drives before shutting down, once I transplant all the drives, I can boot it up, and just re-enable the data drives and continue on with some higher spec cpu and ram?
Most of it should be okay but the network won’t work since you will have a different NIC and will need to be reconfigured again. Same would apply for any mounts you created which aren’t made permanent in /etc/fstab through UUIDs, any specific PCIe mapping and passthroughs might also change their IDs.
Yeah right now it’s literally just acting as a file storage. No images, no apps, nothing. Just the OS with 2 drives mounted and files being shared off it. I’ll go back in and edit the share settings to match the new IP which I would reset to fixed at the router once it’s moved. I’ve basically just been running Zima on a test machine before I fully switch it over to the server hardware.
It still wouldn’t change the fact that you would get a new network interface ID on the new system. Still worth giving a try as it’s pretty simple fix.

Does that only effect the zima client stuff or is there more interaction with that I am unaware of?
