Video Editing NAS

[Julien Vroling]

Hi!
I have a zfs system that was installed by someone else.
I'm a video editor and I use my system daily to work.
I'm hoping HexOS will give me more control over my nas since now i have command line only.

Im running a
Ryzen 1800x
Gtx 1060
64gb ram
50ishTB(usable) internal
50ishTB(usable) in a Netapp DS4246 diskshelf (connected with an LSI 9300-8e)

Is the netapp diskshelf and/or LSI 9300 going to be an issue?
I was hoping i could just install hexOS on the ryzen machine and pick up where i left off 
Is it going to be that easy?
 

Looking forward for your reply

Based on what I have seen any drives you hook up will have to be formatted so no exiting drives could be imported. But you could build up the server with lets says 3 Hard drives.  Then transfer the data then wipe and install the drives into the new server or pull then as external but you will still have to format them.  Kind of a shell game. At some point I will be doing that my self.

jpadgett's suggestion is currently the most correct answer however assuming you are currently using freebsd as your server OS you will be able to do a pool migration to Hexos when a future version of hexos comes out with pool migration support.

So your current options are

1. jpadgett's method
2. wait for hexos update with pool migration
3. if you need a gui asap you can try migrating to main truenas scale
