This may not work on all VMDK files (depending on what version of the
VMDK format the file is) you can do it directly to the zvol (see
https://wiki.smartos.org/display/DOC/Migrating+from+ESXi+4.x ):
# qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O host_device <vmdk-file>.vmdk
/dev/zvol/rdsk/zones/<zone-uuid>-disk0

Since ZFS volumes can be used as block devices, is it possible to
create a ZFS ZVOL from a raw disk image (or a VM VMDK image), which
can then be mounted as the disk to use for a KVM VM within SmartOS?
I'm wondering if anyone already has a good system in place for doing
this?
