Symptoms
You have an existing SoftNAS instance set up, but you need to migrate it to another VPC in another region. Reasons for this may include:
- Your instance needs to be moved because you are moving to another region
- You are creating a new production environment from a staging environment
Purpose
This knowledge base article covers the basic steps and key considerations when migrating a SoftNAS VPC to another VPC in a different region.
Resolution
If you need to migrate an existing SoftNAS VPC to another in a different region, the solution is simple:
- Set up a new VPC, with the same settings and same number of EBS disks, in the new region.
- Follow the instructions found in our Setting up SnapReplicate and SNAP HA, as well as our High-Availability Guide.
- Once your high availability pairing is configured, replicate to the target node, make it the primary, and you are done.

| If you do not wish to keep a highly available configuration, simply remove the original VPC from the pairing. |
