I have an old FreeNAS/TrueNAS server on very very old hardware (though it is fully up to date) with a single pool which is also fully up to date on all feature flags. It is a pretty minimal setup with just 6 data drives; the OS is on 2 USB thumbdrives. I have no jails or anything, it's just storage.
I have a new supermicro server which is all set up and ready to go; the OS is on 2 drives in a rear cage and TrueNAS is totally installed. I have created the same users I had on the old box. It's got its final IP, everything seems good to go.
To bring the drives over from the old system to the new system, what am I missing? I know I should be able to just physically bring over the drives and import the pool, but I'm going to lose my shares and such, correct? I have exported my config from the old system but I've never imported a config before, can I do that with granularity or is it a full wipe? What's the best way to approach something like this other than going setting-by-setting and recreating?
