This is a question that crops up fairly regularly, as different operating systems support different zpool versions. Fortunately, it’s quite easy to find out which versions you are running – simply run:
# zpool upgrade
If you want a more detailed readout, including the features of the pool version you have, try:
# zpool upgrade -v
Your output should look something like this:
# zpool upgrade -v
