Thanks. I discovered this thread based on the comments: http://www.kdump.cn/forums/viewtopic.php?id=1297
The "add fs" method seems to be useful for sharing the dataset with the global zone, but I don't think you can take snapshots within the zone. Whereas "add dataset" seems to allow this. Does it matter than the vmadm snapshot command will not work with delegated datasets?
