[zfs-discuss] Do the disks in a zpool have a private region that I can read to get a zpool name or id?

Hi all, My cu has following question. Assume I have allocated a LUN from external storage to two hosts ( by mistake ). I create a zpool with this LUN on host1 with no errors. On host2 when I try to create a zpool by using the same disk ( which is allocated to host2 as well ), zpool create -
