Currently, the HA-NFS service requires that you disable the
sharenfs property.

I'm not sure of the reasoning here, except that the NFS agent
monitor currently reads dfstab for configuration information.

ZFS offers a different approach. For the alias, Solaris Cluster
will know that for a HA-NFS implementation, there will be
some devices containing a file system which must be mounted
prior to starting the NFS service. This ballet is scheduled based
on the configuration of the cluster and its services including IP
addresses, storage affinity, etc.  With ZFS sharenfs, shareiscsi,
and scharesmb, some of the ballet steps are combined with
zpool import. IMHO, it would be worthwhile to investigate
how to leverage and adjust the NFS and Samba agents to
also understand how ZFS works and do the right thing.  Adding
iSCSI should be a trivial addition.  Might be a good project...
