(MyTargetPhy:/root)# zpool import
pool: MyZpool
id: 917911360396256368
state: UNAVAIL
status: The pool is formatted using an incompatible version.
action: The pool cannot be imported. Access the pool on a system running newer
software, or recreate the pool from backup.
see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-A5
config:
MyZpool UNAVAIL newer version
c12t6072482462EDF0001432HH90000203Bd0 ONLINE
status: The pool is formatted using an incompatible version.
=> the zpool was created in a machine with a higher version and the target physical host has a lower version of OS that is unable to import it. However the ldom is in the same level as of the source and the zpool can be imported into the ldom
