I had a proxmox VE installation on a HP Z420. The storage configuration was:
500GB SSD (Boot disk)
4X4TB HDDs - RAID10 with ZFS
1x500GB HDD (miscellaneous storage)
The system is dead now (does not boot). No luck to revive the system so far. So, I bought an HP Z620. How can I transplant the storage disks to the new system without data loss?
 
with zfs, just add disks to new installation, and do something like zpool import pool(your pool name) . This should be enough.
 
Yes, it worked straight away. Just that I had some troubles with SATA cables. I am perplexed with the import command. My understanding was that I had to do the import only once. Every time I type zpool import, it lists three pools. Once I type zpool import -a, they will disappear from the list. Again after reboot, zpool import will list the pools.
