hello Gurus;

I have a OpenSolaris ZFS pool (pool version 22) with dedup feature turned on.

Is it possible to "import" the ZFS pool into a virtual box virtual machine running the same OpenSolaris without destroying the pool data?

A zpool is not a single disk which could be used via raw access. A zvol inside a pool could be used as a disk, and potentially you could also attach each disk making up the zpool to a VM and use it from there.

So it is totally unclear to me what you actually want to achieve.

The procedure for device raw access in Virtual box seems a little patchy and I really need to confirm that it will work before trying out on a 4 Terabyte ZFS pool.

Agreed. Better explain what you intend to do in more detail...
