Hi folks; I'm new to storage spaces and server 2012 essentials. I'm moving my data from a WHSv1 box to SE 2012.
My setup:
Right now i have the OS on one drive (256gb) and a 1TB drive in the SE 2012 machine.
In my old WHSv1, i have 2, 1tb drives.
I'm moving, through the network, all my data from the WHSv1 box to the SE2012 box.
Once done, I'm thinking of moving the 1TB drives into SE 2012 to create a mirror or parity set to protect the data.
Any idea how to best do this? From what I can tell I would have to create a pool of one disk, with one virtual/thin disk with no resiliency. Then I would have to move the data to that. Then I would add one or both of the next disk to the same pool and create a mirror or parity thin disk and move all the data to that disk.
Is this the best way to do this? Any other ideas?
Thanks!
