zfs discuss - Aug 2008 - Setting up a zpool that can attached to a failover zone

Hi

I have 2 Servers with zones. I have LUNs on a SAN that will contain application
data which will be switched from zone A on Server 1 to zone A-failover on Server
2.

What is the best way to set this up?

I think that it should work if i create a zpool and use legacy mountpoints. I
have to do the administration from the global zone and i still need vfstab.

If I add  the root dataset as a dataset to the zone configurations I
won''t be able to reboot the zone on the system that has not got the
pool. But I think that I should delegate as much administration work to the
zones.

Or is it best to manage the pool in the global zone and make use of the -R
option with "relative zone mountpoints" set?
zfs set mountpoint=/path/in/zone poolname  
zpool import -R /path/to/zone/roo poolname  


Feedback is appreciated,

Chris
