Transferring content from 5U to 3U server

My current system has both a 3U and a 5U server with data on both servers and both are part of the same system. I am considering disposing of the 5U server and eventually upgrading the hard drives in the 3U. What is the process for transferring the data off of the 5U server and onto the 3U server?
 
Thank you Jim.

Since both servers are part of the same system currently, as I understand the directions, I would need to remove the 3U server from the current system and add it to a new system (which will be the destination server) and then replicate from the remaining 5U server (source server) to the 3U server (destination server). The 5U server is currently full (1997 GB) and the 3U server has 4437 GB available storage. After this is completed, I could remove the 5U server from the source system and then switch back to the destination system and physically disconnect the 5U server.

I assume I can do this myself without having to bother my dealer.

Thanks for your help.

Yes, that is correct, the two most important points are to "ungroup" the two Servers (as you noted), and be sure Replication has been "Enabled." (You will see a "Replicate from this Server" note lower left side of Server component tab in the Web Utility (my-kaleidescape).

If that is not there, contact you dealer, they have to enable it from their dealer extranet. If not available, contact K Support (support@kaleidescape.com) and ask for assistance. I would do it for you, but I can only see the systems I follow in my extranet, sorry).

Depending on the timing, you might want to just wait and replicate the 5U onto the new drives. That way you aren't effectively duplicating the 5U's content twice in short succession.
