Extensive description of my system here. I'm currently running 9.3.1-20160415.
I'd like to upgrade to 9.10 but I don't want to use 9.10.1 because of the grub bugs, so I'm trying to do an ISO upgrade to 9.10-20160627. My boot pool is on mirrored USB sticks, da8 and da9. I mount the 9.10 ISO with IPMI and boot it up. If I select both da8 and da9 for the install, I get the message:
can't import 'freenas-boot': more than one matching pool
import by numeric ID instead
I guess this means I shouldn't select both devices when trying to upgrade. If I select only one, the next screen is a message warning that it's going to erase everything on the drive, which doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling that I'm entering an upgrade process instead of a fresh install. Two questions:
1) Is the warning message about erasing everything normal; should I proceed and hope it upgrades?
2) If I'm only selecting one device, will I have to do something after the upgrade to repair the freenas-boot mirror?
Thanks!
