[OpenIndiana-discuss] updating openindiana on machines with openindiana2023.05

[Reginald Beardsley]

 Stick a DVD in a USB optical drive?

FWIW I recently did an update from 2021.04 to 2024.10 via DVD which went surprisingly smoothly. Came up just as you'd expect. There was no user data on the machine because by the time i configured it I was unwilling to touch it. Most brutal sys admin fight of my life. I've never lost a battle with a computer, but that install made me not want to fight for a long time.

But I DO have 4 disks sliced into a RAIDZ2 pool and a RAIDZ1 pool.

 Hello,

  I have a few machines running still openindiana2023.05.

In tried pkg refresh --full and pkg update -v but when I check which 
release is running after rebooting it seems to be still openindiana 2023.05.

I'm now copying OI-Hipster-gui-20240426;usb on a usb key . By the way, 
is this the last available version ?

Can I update the system without loosing the data: apparently the 
installation with the usb keyoverwrirtes the solaris partition

Thanks

Marc
