Hi,
Can I export a ZFS pool on Solaris 10 x86 and then import it on a
Solaris 10 Sparc?
Are ZFS pools portable between sparc an x86 Solaris 10?
Pools themselves can be transferred. zfs stores the metadata in the
native endianism (big-endian sparc, little-end x86), but will read
metadata written either way around, so it can read zpools written on the
other endianism without you needing to do anything.
You need to be using a disk partitioning scheme which is recognised on
both sparc and x86 such as EFI labels (which is the default if ZFS was
given a whole disk). I think you'll struggle if you are using SMI disk
labels, as they aren't the same on sparc and x86.
