Follow these steps to migrate a QNAP expansion unit or QNAP external RAID    enclosure containing storage pools, volumes, or LUNs from a QNAP NAS to a different QNAP NAS.

  1. Go to Main Menu > Storage & Snapshots > Storage > Disks/VJBOD.
  2. Select an enclosure.
  3. Select Action > Safely Detach.
    The Safely Detaching Enclosure window opens
  4. Click Apply.
    Warning: Do not disconnect or power off the external RAID enclosure until the enclosure has been detached.
     A confirmation message appears.
  5. Disconnect the enclosure from the NAS.
