Drobo 5D3 Quick Start Guide

Migrating Your Data to Drobo 5D3
The Drobo 5D3 supports migrating entire disk packs from another Drobo device to
your Drobo 5D3, preserving all the data and volumes in the source Drobo Device. You
can also migrate disk packs from one Drobo 5D3 to another.
Migration Paths Supported are as shown below:
• From Drobo 5D/5Dt to Drobo 5D3 is supported
• From Drobo 5C to Drobo 5D3 is supported
• From Drobo Gen3 to Drobo 5D3 is supported

Migration Paths Not supported are as shown below:
• USB and Thunderbolt products cannot be migrated to NAS products or vice
versa.
• Migration to Drobo 5D3 is not supported from Drobo Gen1 or Drobo Gen2
devices.
When to use Copy Data?
You can copy the data from one Drobo device to another, if data migration is not
supported between your Drobo devices (see above for list of supported devices).
NOTE:
- Ensure that you have the latest Drobo Dashboard 3.1.2+ as well as the latest
firmware on both source and destination (5D3 4.0.2+) Drobo devices before
moving the disk packs.
How to check if you’re on the latest Firmware?
1. Launch Drobo Dashboard and select the appropriate Drobo device from
the All Drobos page. (Also, if applicable, log in to this Drobo device.)
