Hi, I have installed xpenology 5.5 on a ML10v2 server and it is running well. It was designed as a test setup, and now I want to move to production for home. In the future I will upgrade the cpu from dual core Celeron G3240 to a 4 core xeon, which I would like to use to virtualise some installations. I will have maybe 8tb of data on 4 disks via SHR, and when I move to a virtual server, I don't want to have to move the data. The data will be movies and tv for Kodi so I need it live. My question: Is it easy to move the xpenology installation from one setup to the next using the same drives? Can I easily go from bare metal install on a server to the same xpenology setup as a virtual machine, and if so how would I do that? I have not chosen between Hyper v or exsi yet but favouring Hyper-V right now. Thanks.
