Hi there! New to the forums, but was part of a lot of the reading in the early whitebox days long ago. I thought I had a login, but apparently not. Looking for some advice here.
Old setup:
AMD FX8 8320, 32gb ecc ddr3 unbuffered
ESXi 5.5 with tons of passthrough
IBM 1015 IT flashed
6x 3TB Seagate Constellation RaidZ2
Dedicated SSD for napp-it VM, no longer mirrored as my Raidsonic died and I can't find them anymore!
Napp-It v18.01 all in one virtual machine
Mostly SMB shares in windows
I basically created several user accounts and have them mapped to windows accounts. I have one main user on the root share that I do most of my NTFS permissions from. Long ago, my ZFS VM bit the dust, so I had to deploy a new... it saw all of my disks, but I had to recreate the user accounts and its mappings. The one problem I had was mismatched mappings, but I figured that out later (was weird, User3 had access to User2's shares and vice versa).
New setup:
Dell R720, dual xeons, 96gb ecc registered ddr3
ESXi 6.7u3 so far with its H310 mini flashed to IT and passed through
6x 10TB Ironwolf Raidz2
Napp-It v18.12w5 all in one virtual machine (just installed the latest recently)
Looking to migrate over the same setup, may use the napp-it mirroring option within the GUI
I was going to manually create all users and mappings, use robocopy from old SMB root share to new SMB root share, but I'm seeing that this newer version of Napp-IT has the guest user locked in on user-id 101. That was my main admin account for windows SMB shares on my old setup.
Any suggestions how to do this as efficiently as possible? I do have an old 8-bay proraid enclosure that can do eSata and USB 3.0. Not sure if it makes sense to pull all disks from one server and somehow get it hooked up all to one server.
Goal:
- Figure out how to get my mappings to match up, mostly worried about the new guest account overtaking my old permissions for my admin account
- Migrate all data
- (Less important at this moment, for later) Once the above is all complete, what's the best way to mount this share to a linux (Ubuntu desktop) VM for Plex, but also have Windows smb see the same repo for if/when I want to use a different player to watch the movies.
