Hi everyone, I''m preparing around 6 Solaris physical servers and I want to see if it''s possible to create a zfs pool that I can make it as a shared pool between all the 6 servers (not concurrent, just active-passive way) is that possible? Is there any article that can show me how to do it ? sorry if this is a basic question but I''m new to ZFS area, in UFS I can just create a metaset between all the servers and I just "release" and "take over" manually and this is what I want to do with ZFS I know SUN Cluster can support moving ZFS between servers so I hope there is a way without using sun cluster.

The easier part is that you do not need to add stuff to vfstab and or have any local knowledge of the pool layout.

Hello, to automate all these, the best thing to do is to create Sun Cluster HA Storage resource.
