New FreeNAS-11.0-U3 (c5dcf4416) install and Nightly config file

[kdragon75]

I have been running an old nightly build for some time. I decided to get back to the STABLE builds and as a "downgrade" is not supported I pulled a config backup and built a new system. On the new 11.0U3 system I restored the backed up config and rebooted. The system came back online with the correct IP and other settings seemed to have taken effect. My storage is however no longer working. I get the following error on the storage view: Unable to load /api/v1.0/plugins/available/?parent=null status:500.

I logged in to the host via SSH and saw the disks and parts in /dev/ad* so I looked to see if they were imported by zfs via zpool list. Nope.
Tried zpool import -f data. Ok, now it shows up in my zpool list.
go back to the web UI and...

An error occurred.
Sorry, the page you are looking for is currently unavailable.
Please try again later.

If you are the system administrator of this resource then you should check the error log for details.

Faithfully yours, nginx.

A reboot brings back the UI and zfs is automatically importing my zpool but the storage screen still show the same error.
What am I missing!?

Are you sure the restored config was last created/updated from a STABLE train, that is not from a nightly? Missing column errors are usually due to restoring a config from a newer version to an older one (where nightly is considered to be newer than stable).

 

[kdragon75]

The backup is indeed from Nightlies. If there is any chance of backup incompatibility, should there not be some version/sanity checking?

I know the nightly build was older than 11.0U3.

It would be worthwhile to create a feature request at bugs.freenas.org asking that a pop-up error prevents a user from uploading a newer config. If you create one, post the issue number here.

For your specific issue, do you have a saved config from a stable train? If not, you will need to recreate your config.
