zfs discuss - Jan 2011 - Migrating iSCSI volumes between pools

I have a situation coming up soon in which I will have to migrate some iSCSI
backing stores setup with comstar.  Are there steps published anywhere on how to
move these between pools?  Does one still use send/receive or do I somehow just
move the backing store? I have moved filesystems before using send/receive but
not sure if iSCSI targets are treated the same.

zfs send/receive works on datasets: filesystems or zvols.
For zvols being shared via iscsi, there is at least one "hidden"
parameter that
is used by COMSTAR. These are sent when you do a replication stream send,
using "zfs send -R ..."
