Dear all here,

Enclosed is a process flow for an upgrade of an internal HD / SSD disk, which I published here in the Roon Forum already revised.

What can I use from this process flow for outsourcing the music files to a Qnap server?

Steps for changing the smaler internal Music Drive to an larger new one:

Actual Process Step, Version from Gerald_Schrader 21 May 2019:

  1. Backup Roon database.

  2. Go to Nucleus log-out page: Log out of Nucleus (Go to Settings, General and click Logout)

  3. Shut down Nucleus from Nucleus web admin page

  4. Disconnect the Nucleus from the electric power

  5. Remove / replace internal storage SSD to an larger one.

  6. Connect the Nucleus to the electric power.

  7. Power up Nucleus from Nucleus web admin page

  8. Go to Nucleus web admin page 192.168.1.xxx: 1.-stop the server software.

  9. From Nucleus web admin page 192.168.1.xxx: format new SSD with nucleus.

  10. From Nucleus web admin page 192.168.1.xxx: 2.-stop the server software.

  11. Copy music files across the network from the storage backup location (PC) to new internal SSD in Nucleus.
    If asked for a username and password, use «Guest» for both.

  12. From Nucleus web admin page 192.168.1.xxx: restart server software.

  13. Go to Nucleus log-in page: Log in of Nucleus (Go to Settings, General and click Login)

  14. restore Roon database

Those instructions look good, most importantly:

  1. shut down from the admin web page 2
  2. physically swap the drive 1
  3. power up, initialize from the admin webpage 1, and copy your music over

Many thanks and best regards

Michael
