I know I've seen some documentation regarding using ZFS with Open HA. Open HA is the new name for Sun Cluster, is it not?
I haven't tried any of this however. As long as the zpool is on a shared storage device so that it *can* be imported on both servers in the cluster, I would imagine you can adapt the instructions from http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2974/gbspx?a=view to do what you want. Creativity would appear to be in order. As for the documents that Steve linked to, I noticed that it uses an internal Sun URL, which probably isn't helpful to the rest of us. Try this: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-6218 This search may also be useful... http://search.sun.com/docs/index.jsp?col=docs_en&locale=en&qt=ZFS&dcol=1124.5 FWIW, HTH.
