I think I made a mistake when upgrading recently from 11.3-U1 to 11.3-U5 and I am hoping there is an easy fix; at least I think there might be one.

During the initial part of the upgrade, I was asked which drive to upgrade. Both of my boot disks were listed, but they are (were?) mirrored. My first thought was to upgrade just one and that the mirroring would copy everything over to the other. But... in my addled mind at the time, I thought "Since the documentation says...."
If a mirror has been used for the operating system, mark all of the drives where the FreeNAS® operating system is installed. Press Enter when done.

So I selected them both and continued.

At least I think I did that...
:eek: How do I tell?
Did I do it correctly? Or do I need to reformat the second boot drive, reattach it, and restore the mirror?

Currently there are 4 Boot Environments Listed on the system. Can I delete some without messing things up?

I really hope I didn't go and mess the whole thing up!

Use Actions | Boot Pool Status on that screen there to see the boot pool layout.

If you're happy about where you landed, you can get rid of the U1 entry, but it's up to you. Once it's deleted, you can't use it to go back.

Couldn't for the life of me find "Actions" in the menu... then I saw that bright blue button!!! :oops:
"Forest for the trees, Detective. Forest for the trees."

For the record, It does show they are still mirrored!

Thank you!!!!
