5. NAS Migration
You can migrate data and settings from your current NAS to another NAS model with minimal disruptions by
installing all the hard drives from the source NAS to the destination NAS. RAID configuration and other
settings are retained on the destination NAS after migration.
NAS Migration Requirements
You can only migrate drives and system settings to specific NAS models, depending on your source NAS.
For the list of NAS models compatible with direct NAS migration, see
migration.
Your device must meet the following requirements:
• The destination NAS must run on the same QuTS hero version as the source NAS (or later).
Important
Due to incompatibilities in file system, system migration between QTS NAS and QuTS hero
NAS is not supported.
Warning
Migrating drives between QTS NAS and QuTS hero NAS can cause data corruption.
• The destination NAS must have sufficient free drive bays to accommodate all the drives that you are
migrating from the source NAS.
For NAS models that do not support NAS migration, see
between QTS and QuTS hero with
