Migrating a Disk Pack from Another Drobo Device
The Drobo 5N2 supports migrating entire disk packs from a Drobo5N (16TB or 64TB volume) and
DroboFS (16TB volume), preserving all the data and shares you created. You can also migrate disk
packs from one Drobo 5N2 to another.
Notes:
A disk pack functions as a unit. When you migrate a disk pack, you move ALL the drives
from one Drobo device to another. Only after migration of the disk pack is complete, you can
add additional drives to the new Drobo device one at a time, if desired.
If you are migrating the disk pack from a Drobo5N (16TB or 64TB volume) or DroboFS
(16TB volume) to a Drobo 5N2, note that this is a one-way migration. After the migration, you
will not be able to use the disk pack in the Drobo5N (16TB or 64TB volume) or DroboFS (16TB
volume).
For information on migration of disk pack see
