zfs discuss - Dec 2007 - zfs export/import problem in cluster env.

i did some test lately with zfs, env is:
2 node veritas cluster 5.0 on solaris 8/07 with recommended patches, 2 machines
v440 & v480, shared storage through switch on 6120 array.
2 luns from array, on every zfs pool. problem is, after installing oracle db on
one of the luns, zpool import / export did not work. bad news for us is, that
when i run oracle db on one node, all is ok, then i export zpool from node one
and import on node 2, import did not work, and solaris system panic and reboot.

thank you for some help

Maybe VCS set a SCSI reservation on those disks?
Does VCS support ZFS yet?
