disk pool traNsport
The Vess R2000 supports transport of a Disk Pool. That is, a Disk Pool created on one Vess R2000 enclosure
can be removed and installed in another Vess R2000 enclosure, but there is a process that must be completed
before the physical drives are removed. This procedure is very similar to the Disk Array Transport described in
“Preparing a Disk Array for Transport” on page 195.
Before you begin the Transport procedure, rst backup (export) the NAS settings so the same settings can be
applied to the Disk Pool in the other enclosure. Follow the instructions below.

TransporT Disk pool
To prepare a Disk Pool for transport, follow these steps:
1. In NAS conguration: File System > Disk Pool and click on the Share Disk in the list you want to move.
2. Click on the Transport button.
3. Click on the Conrm button in the pop-up menu.
A message informs you that the Disk Pool is ready for transport. Now you can safely remove the physical
disks and reinsert them into available disk bays on another Vess R2000 enclosure. Once inserted, it will
be necessary to Rescan the Disk Pool so it can be used.
Note
Export the NAS settings le to your local computer before transporting,
then import and apply the settings in the enclosure that receives the Disk
Pool in order to preserve the settings for the Disk Pool.
