not 100% sure, but here i have a 4 disk RAID1/RAID10/RAID10 setup
originating from F14 and upgraeded to F15 and F16

i did the same as with GRUB1

grub2-install /dev/sda
grub2-install /dev/sdb
grub2-install /dev/sdc
grub2-install /dev/sdd

it boots from any disk as also another from F15 to F16
upgraded system does this way after "hotplug" any disk
from the RAID1 device and it boots surely with GRUB2
