I think that means creating a VxVM volume, and then passing that volume
to zpool.  DMP doesn't hand you a "device" that you can use.

Sure.  I don't see an alternative for using DMP.  Given other reports of
using ZFS on top of SVM metadevices, I wouldn't expect peformance to
drop significantly.

Good luck.
