Re-using disks
I would like to know if I can move the disks from a V240 chassis into a V440 chassis to use the increased resources (CPU & Memory) to boost performance. I know you can move disks between V210/240 chassis's, but I'm not sure if this would work between 240s & 440s. Any help would be much appreciated.

machine-info
MACHINE-INFO(5) machine-info MACHINE-INFO(5)
NAME
machine-info - Local machine information file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/machine-info
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/machine-info file contains machine metadata.
The basic file format of machine-info is a newline-separated list of environment-like shell-compatible variable assignments. It is possible
to source the configuration from shell scripts, however, beyond mere variable assignments no shell features are supported, allowing
applications to read the file without implementing a shell compatible execution engine.
/etc/machine-info contains metadata about the machine that is set by the user or administrator.
Depending on the operating system other configuration files might be checked for machine information as well, however only as fallback.
You may use hostnamectl(1) to change the settings of this file from the command line.
OPTIONS
The following machine metadata parameters may be set using /etc/machine-info:
PRETTY_HOSTNAME=
A pretty human-readable UTF-8 machine identifier string. This should contain a name like "Lennart's Laptop" which is useful to present
to the user and does not suffer by the syntax limitations of internet domain names. If possible, the internet hostname as configured in
/etc/hostname should be kept similar to this one. Example: if this value is "Lennart's Computer" an Internet hostname of
"lennarts-computer" might be a good choice. If this parameter is not set, an application should fall back to the Internet host name for
presentation purposes.
ICON_NAME=
An icon identifying this machine according to the XDG Icon Naming Specification[1]. If this parameter is not set, an application should
fall back to "computer" or a similar icon name.
CHASSIS=
The chassis type. Currently, the following chassis types are defined: "desktop", "laptop", "convertible", "server", "tablet",
"handset", "watch", and "embedded", as well as the special chassis types "vm" and "container" for virtualized systems that lack an
immediate physical chassis. Note that many systems allow detection of the chassis type automatically (based on firmware information or
suchlike). This setting (if set) shall take precedence over automatically detected information and is useful to override misdetected
configuration or to manually configure the chassis type where automatic detection is not available.
DEPLOYMENT=
Describes the system deployment environment. One of the following is suggested: "development", "integration", "staging", "production".
LOCATION=
Describes the system location if applicable and known. Takes a human-friendly, free-form string. This may be as generic as "Berlin,
Germany" or as specific as "Left Rack, 2nd Shelf".
EXAMPLE
PRETTY_HOSTNAME="Lennart's Tablet"
ICON_NAME=computer-tablet
CHASSIS=tablet
DEPLOYMENT=production
