The pool cannot be used on this system. Either move the storage to the system where the pool was originally created, upgrade the current system software to a more recent version, or destroy the pool and re-create it from backup.

If this error is seen during import, the pool cannot be imported on the current system. The disks must be attached to the system which originally created the pool, and imported there.

The list of currently supported versions can be displayed using zpool upgrade -v.
