Hi David
With such an old release version many steps to upgrade are required and
you are more likely to sucess installing a new System from ISO/USB to
the existing rpool which will create an independant boot environment
with newest software.
It wouold also alow you to test the newest release on the Hardware first
without requiring any changes to your setup.
The Option to install into an existing pool is part of the Installer.

Hi All,
Might be interesting to someone out there ;)
I still have this little box, use it as a file server and still using
oi_151a9.
I have progressively been replacing the HDD with bigger and bigger
drives and all still works well. I keep think of replacing the hardware
but never yet really got around to it. I think since the original 2Tb
HHDs I have increase it to 6Tb, 10Tb, then 14Tb in stages.
I just replace my 3 disk raid5 pool, which used to have 3x14Tb with some
new 3x20Tb Tosh disks.
Last time it took 10hr each to re-silver the replaced disks from 10Tb to
14Tb, this time it took 33hr for each disk (ie 100hr to do all three
over 5 days).
I have tried to update the OS before and always it fails at some point,
so in the end just stayed with what worked.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what to do for an upgrade?
I have a HP Proliant Microserver N54L with 4x 2Tb drives which I have
been happy with for more than a year but I have started to run out of
disk space in my zfs pool. I have been pruning the snapshots and
rubbish but filling it up now is inevitable.
What I would really like to do is to swap the disks out for larger one
but I doubt that this is really practical as to make this work you
need spare disk slots which I don't have.
Another option might be to add a SATA card and add more disk that way.
But I have no idea of where to start with this, and even if this
microserver can do that.
And a third is just to get a new server. I can't see any which have
more than 4 drive bays do these exist (for reasonable money) or do you
need to make your own? If so anyone got a recommendation?
