I can't decide if this is a dumb question or not (so I'll try asking it). We have two Solaris machines (Solaris 08/07) one (x86) with a load of disk attached and one (sparc) without. I've configured a volume on the disk server and made that available via iscsi. Connected to that on the sparc and set it up as a zpool.
Once we started using this in earnest we got problems with stabilty and performance which I'll come back to later. For now I'd just like to get the data on this volume on to a zfs filesystem on the x86 machine. What I can't work out is if I can just mount this directly or do I still need to access it via iSCSI? The volume concerned is shelf01/sap-spare-01 in the list below (shelf02-sap-spare-03 is a copy of that generated via zfs send | zfs receive). I can obviously grab the data by using the existing iscsi connection on the sparc and copying it back (using ssh/scp) but this seems daft as the data is having to make a complete trip round the network. I can't decide if this is something that obviously can't work or if I'm missing some access mechanism using /dev/zvols or similar.
