No. Zpool version 29 is closed-source, so it is unlikely that anything
other than Solaris 11+ will be able to read it.

The incompatibility goes both ways, so a zpool created with the
current OpenIndiana (or anything Illumos-based that uses feature
flags) is unlikely to be readable by Solaris, unless you explicitly
create the zpool as version 28.

Cheers,
