Can you link the blog you got the instructions from?  I'm unsure why you'd
do a zfs create instead of just doing an mkfile.  The only reason I can
think of is if you wanted to take snapshots, and you were storing other data
inside the zfs pool you had other data in (HORRIBLE idea IMO).

Oh, and blatant observation here, did you just make a typo?  Your last line
is incorrect as you've pasted it.  You put:
sbdadm create-lu /dev/zvol/rdsk/storagepool/backups/isci/macbook_dg

If that's what you literally typed, you missed an S in iscsi.  It should be:
sbdadm create-lu /dev/zvol/rdsk/storagepool/backups/iscs********i/macbook_dg


******* added by me to make it obvious what you missed :)


If that's not it, from all the documentation I've see, they'd prefer you
used mkfile to create your LUN, and typed the path to the file as
/storagepool/backups/iscsi/macbook_dg.
