Hi Trevor,

We intentionally install the system pool with an old ZFS version and don't provide the ability to upgrade. We don't need or use (or even expose) any of the features of the newer versions so using a newer version would only
create problems rolling back to earlier releases.

Just Curious....

The 7110 I've on loan has an old zpool. I *assume* because it's been upgraded and it gives me the ability to downgrade. Anybody know if I delete the old version of Amber Road whether the pool would then upgrade (I don't want to do it as I want to show the up/downgrade feature).

OS pool:-
      pool: system
      state: ONLINE
status: The pool is formatted using an older on-disk format. The pool can
        still be used, but some features are unavailable.

And yes I may have invalidated my support. If you have a 7000 box don't ask me how to access the system like this, you can see the warning. Remember I've a loan box and are just being nosey, a sort of looking under the bonnet and going "OOOHHH" an engine, but being too scared to even pull the dip stick :-)
