Default Re: SNAP 2200 HDD Sizes ?

You will need to put the server in RAID1 if you want the snap to copy the OS on the new drive. Then power down and move the new drive to the top if it is not there allready. Then if the drive is in the top, install the second new drive in the bottom. Boot the server. The snap will copy the OS to it also. Then change back to JBOD. Check drive for capacity. It should match the old 80 gig drive. Issue the reinit cmd to both drives (10000, 10010) to get full capacity. After that you can config the drives to your liking.

Your other option is to use dd to copy the first 25 meg of the old hd to the new. Then reinit the drives. Then it is recomended to re-install the OS to make sure all of the files are there.

To install any updates Snap recommends using the web interface. I believe it is on all version 3.1 and up.
