If it is not the case then there is a bug - last time I checked it
worked perfectly fine.
This may be different in the latest opensolaris, but in the latest solaris,
this is what I know:
If a pool fails, and forces an ungraceful shutdown, then during the next
bootup, the pool is treated as "currently in use by another system." The OS
doesn't come up all the way; you have to power cycle again, and go into
failsafe mode. Then you can "zpool import" I think requiring the -f or -F,
and reboot again normal.
I think you are describing what happens if the root pool has problems.
Other pools are just shown as unavailable.
The system will come up, but failure to mount any filesystems in the
absent pool will cause the filesystem/local service to be in maintenance
state.
