zfs and flash archives

i had a situation where an app i was running just didn't have enough resources on a proliant dl365 (running sol10x86). so i ended up building out a dl385g2. the dl365 had zfs root file system which was managing the whole disk (smart array taking the raid 1+0). anyway, i figured i could migrate the whole os via flash archive (obviously device tree would be rebuilt). so i created my flar and mounted it for nfs share. brought the dl385g2 up and was able to get the flar without issue. however, i ran into a situation where the flar was showing/forcing the filesystems to be ufs and NOT zfs. i couldn't figure out how to get the root fs to be zfs. did i miss something when i attempted to install from flash archive? i looked several times and did not see any options like in a standard install where you can specify UFS or ZFS for root fs.
