Yes. I do that all of the time. The trick here is to create the pool and filesystems with the oldest Solaris you will use. ZFS has very good backward compatibility but not the reverse. Here's a trick that will come in handy. Create quite a few empty ZFS filesystems in your oldest Solaris. In my case the pool is called throatwarbler and I have misc1 misc2 misc3 misc4 misc5 ..... What happens is that I will be running a newer Solaris and want a filesystem. Rather than reboot to the older Solaris, just rename misc[n] to the new name.
