kanicus Posted March 21, 2016 #1 Posted March 21, 2016 Hi I am a newbie with this and It is wonderfull we can use DSM on microservers, thanks a lot to the people who make this possible, you rock guys! I am starting moving my files to a SHR volume so is failsafe but.... what about system? I did not find a lot information about how this works, I supouse when you burn XPEnoboot on usb memory then install assistant install DSM on the same memory. Correct me if I am wrong. So there are any process to make an image of currently running system and remake the USB Drive in case of failure? Is there any option to auto copy one usb memory to another one plugged and have a bakup unit always up to date? If I want to change an old memory with a better one can i simple make an image with Win32 Disk Imager and burn that image to the new memory with no problems? Thanks a lot.
brantje Posted March 21, 2016 #2 Posted March 21, 2016 DSM is installed on a partition on each disk. Therefore, dsm won't fail if 1 harddrive crashes. Posted via Xpenology.us
kanicus Posted March 21, 2016 Author #3 Posted March 21, 2016 Thx for reply! so... in SHR volumes it takes also a small space at the beginning? Can I get out of the server any disk (after power off) and boot up again without any problem using the SHR disks group DSM copy?
brantje Posted March 21, 2016 #4 Posted March 21, 2016 Yes, you can, but if you have an SHR array it will be in an degraded state when you boot. Posted via Xpenology.us
