Hi Chris, thanks for your response. I agree with your statement about ZFS, but we're trying to use Nexenta as Xen PV Guest on an already existing Xen Cluster with external iSCSI storage. Indeed, we _could_ use Nexenta as dom0 on each and every machine, but this is not our target. We just want to add Nexenta to our pool of possible domU's.
