Hi, In company where I'm working we are using "zpool status -x" command output in monitoring scripts for check health all ZFS pools. Everything is OK except few systems where "zpool status -x" is exactly the same as "zpool status". I'm not sure but looks like this behavior is not OS version specific (I observe this on one latest OpenSolaris build but also on some previous on on two boxes with Solarises 10). I found that in all these cases in command output I see some additional notes like:
status: The pool is formatted using an older on-disk format. The pool can still be used, but some features are unavailable. action: Upgrade the pool using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done, the pool will no longer be accessible on older software versions. If "zpoll status -x" output is not single line message "all pools are healthy" by using old on disk format IMO this behavior is inccorrect because in zpool(1M) description for -x option I see: -x Only display status for pools that are exhibiting errors or are otherwise unavail- able. In this case there is no errors in pools and all resources still are available. Comments? Should I open case for this?
