zfs discuss - Sep 2010 - recreating stack (zpool and zfs) once hardware snapshot is taken.

Hi,

Follow is what I am looking for.

I need to take hardware snap shot of devices which are provided under zfs file
system.

I could identify type of configuration using zpool status and get the list of
disks.
For example : if a single LUN is assigned to zpool and a file system is created 
for mpool/myfs.
Say the LUN is 1002.

so the stack would be myfs file system under mypool which is created from a LUN
1002.

Once I took snapshot for LUN 1002 on 1003 then new device I got is 1003 as
snapshot device..

I would like to know how can I recreate the stack similar to existing say zpool
mypool_snap and file system myfs_snap.

I found some information that zpool export and import needs to be done before
taking snapshot.
wondering how i can use it for my requirement.


Thanks,
sridhar.
