Swapping out Pi 4 with OS on SSD

Post by SiK0 »

HI, I am having some difficulty swapping out my Raspberry Pi 4 2gb for an 8gb version. I have followed the Pi series and I have my OS on a SSD with OMV and various docker containers.

The steps I took were to install Raspberry Pi OS lite on a micros sd and run it on the 8gb Pi.
I then fully updated the Pi and changed the boot order to choose USB first over sd card. This is confirmed by checking the rpi-eeprom -config and it stating that BOOT_ORDER=0xf41

However when I plug the SSD into the 8gb Pi, I have trouble seeing it on my network and cant connect to it over ssh.

What would be the correct steps to accomplish swapping out a raspberry pi with the OS on a SSD?

Thanks

Just to update this should anyone else have a similar problem.

I was able to connect the pi to a monitor and keyboard (a faulty mini hdmi adapter did not help me initially!)

From there I was able to adjust and rebuild the eth0 network with
sudo omv-firstaid

It successfully reconnected with my chosen IP and my services were back running on the new Pi
