Currently i'm running DSM 6.1.7-15284 Update 3 on a cheap X58 motherboard which runs fine. But number of SATA II ports was limited to 4, no possibilities for further upgrade because of the Realtek NIC and also the case is a bit small.
Initial idea was to order a 8 bay hot swap 19" case, use the existing MB and add a SAS controller card. So the rack was ordered.
But thinking it over, i decided it would be better to get a new, better suited MB with built-in SAS controllers. With a bit of a search we ended up with ordering a Supermicro X8DT6-F motherboard processors, memory etc.
My question is: if i make a configuration back up, set up the new hardware and get it running, will DSM accept the DSS file and do a full restore of my current configuration or are there other things in need to take in account?
Next step would be to upgrade to DSM 6.2
Thanks for your help.
