Move TOS to SSD - which will it boot from?

Post by seajayshome »

Hi - I am keen to move TOS from my raid disks to a new SSD so that it will run from there, and (hopefully) allow the raid disks to go into standby more often.

I read this post ( http://forum.terra-master.com/en/viewto ... =21&t=1234 ) and it appears to be just a case of:
  1. Backup the configuration
  2. Remove the RAID Array and Install the SSD
  3. Reboot with only SSD and install TOS
  4. Add the RAID array back in
  5. Restore the configuration
What I am wondering is, when I add the RAID array back in, what is to stop it from simply booting from the "old" TOS still stored on the RAID array instead of the SSD? Will it use the SSD, or will I have to change config somewhere to make sure it boots from it?

When both your HDD and SSD have a system, it will be judged according to the order in which the hard disks are placed. Thus you can put the SSD in slot 1.

OK thanks - is it possible to remove the old TOS from the RAID drives once moved to SSD?
