The code that does this check is here: https://github.com/joyent/smartos-live/blob/master/src/img/lib/imgadm.js#L139
Specifically, the following code block is generating the error.
if (platVer < lowestSpecVer) {
return new errors.MinPlatformError(platVer,
platTimestamp, minPlatSpec);
}
In this case, platVer is the SDC platform version. All SmartOS builds for quite
some time have used the string "7.0", which is also displayed in the output you
show below. The lowestSpecVer comes from the image manifest and in this case is
a string, "undefined".
Therefore then, using the node REPL.
$ node
> var platVer = "7.0";
undefined
> var lowestSpecVer = "undefined";
undefined
> platVer < lowestSpecVer
true
And this is why it's producing an error. Both are strings, and since "7"
alphanumerically comes before "u", "7"<"u".
I've filed [IMGAPI-580](https://smartos.org/bugview/IMGAPI-580) to track this
issue.
Note, that regardless of imgadm's behavior here, Fifo can avoid this by setting
the min_platform key to some string value that will satisfy the `platVer <
lowestSpecVer` comparison.
