Hello all, sorry if somebody already asked this or not. I was playing today with iSCSI and I was able to create zpool and then via iSCSI I can see it on two other hosts. I was courious if I could use zfs to have it shared on those two hosts but aparently I was unable to do it for obvious reasons. On my linuc oracle rac I was using ocfs which works just as I need it, does anyone know if such could be acheived with zfs maybe? maybe if not now but in the future? is there anything that I could do at this moment to be able to have my two other solaris clients see my zpool that I am presenting via iscsi to them both? Is there any solutions out there of this kind? Thanks so much for your help. Regards, Chris

QFS is on the road to open source, too bad RAC isn''t :-P http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/storage/ -- richard
