I'm trying to guess what is the best practice in this scenario:
- let's say I have a zfs based storage (let's say nexenta) that has it zfs 
pools and volumes shared as iScsi raw devices
- let's say I have another server running xvm or virtualbox connected to the 
storage
- let's say one of the virtual guests is OpenSolaris

My question is:
- is it correct to mount the iScsi device as base disks for the VM and then 
create zpools/volumes in it, considering that behind it there is already 
another zfs?
- what alternatives do I have?
- in case it's correct to have the VM zfs over the storage zfs, where should I 
manage snapshots? on the VM or on the storage?

Thanks for any idea
Gabriele.
