Zimaboard 2 replacement

Hardware
1

Hi, I need to replace my current Zimaboard 2 (purchased on Amazon, as it had issues) with another one bought from the official website. It currently has a RAID setup with two HDDs; do you think the new Zima will recognize them if I connect them directly, or will I have to format them?

Thanks

No, the new ZimaBoard 2 will not recognize your RAID storage pool automatically, but you can back up the local-storage.db file to restore your RAID on the replacement. The file is located in the /ZimaOS-HD/.casaos/db directory.

Here is a page in the ZimaOS documentation that describes the process in more detail.

Thanks for the advice; I’ve just reinstalled everything and the drives are being detected, but this symbol is appearing. Why?

I am not sure. I have not seen that symbol before. Maybe it is a warning from some value in the SMART data? What does the health information say? Are the drives working?
