Thank you all for the replies.I tried OmniOS and Oracle Solaris 11.1 but both were not able to import the data pool. So I have reinstalled OI 151a7 and after importing the data and having it crash, I booted up in single user mode. At this point I was able to initiate zpool scrub data and it looks to be running!! I will wait and see if the scrub can finish and then try to remount everything. See attached pic.

If it's zpool 28 (i.e. without feature flags), you could try any of a number of other OSes to see if they are able to not crash when importing, and then do a clean export. You may need to go back a few transactions (using zpool import -F).Thank you. It is ver 28 ZFS. this is a supermicro chasis with 36 interal drives so i cannot move another system to mount the zfs pools. I could try install OpenSolaris or illuminos? Is there a preference.You have many options, and I'm probably not the best person to offer a technical answer. My personal opinion would be to try this order: 1) current Illumos build [1] (maybe bug recently fixed) 2) OpenSolaris (maybe bug introduced recently) 3) FreeBSD 8.x or 9.x (maybe bug specific to Solaris-based implementations) 4) GNU/Linux with ZFSonLinux [2] (independent implementation) 5) current non-free Solaris (maybe Oracle fixed something) I don't know which distributions of Illumos have the most recent version from upstream, but some people report success using the "hipster repo" on OpenIndiana [3]. I haven't tried it myself, so can't personally vouch for its safety/stability. In most other cases you don't need to install the OS and could try to do it from a live session (i.e. quit the installer and drop to terminal).
