Deferred Updates

Each software upgrade might contain new firmware or updates to external resources. If an update is not backward compatible, it is presented as a "deferred update" and is not automatically applied. To understand the implications of applying deferred updates, see Understanding Deferred Updates.

Note - Replication failures can occur if the target appliance does not support a feature used by the project or share being replicated. See the "Incompatible Target" failure in section Replication Failures in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Administration Guide, Release OS8.7.x.
