zfs discuss - Oct 2009 - Moving an dataset zpool from a local zone to the global zone

I''m wondering if anyone has run into this before.

I''ve got a zone that has a zpool added into it as a dataset.  I need to
remove the zpool from the zone and mount on the global zone directly.


I can remove the dataset from the zone config and remove the zpool from the
zone. But I am having trouble getting the zpool to mount again on the global
zone. It imports and exports fine but will not let me change the mount point
stating that it is part of a nonglobal zone.  Any thoughts on this ?


ie: 
      server1 
      runs zone1
      datapool is a zpool exported to zone1 as a dataset

I am going to remove the zone and need server1 to host  datapool and all
it''s filesystems.

Also datapool is not the rootpool of the zone.
     
Thanks

Check the zoned property:
zfs get zoned <dataset>

If it is on:
zfs set zoned=off <dataset>
And set the mountpoint property:
zfs set mountpoint=<in_global_zone> <dataset>

that did the trick thanks !
