Hi I took a look at the archives and I have seen a few threads about using array block level snapshots with ZFS and how we face the "old issue" that we used to see with logical volumes and unique IDs (quite correctly) stopping the same volume being presented twice to the same server.
IHAC wanting to do this with a ZFS storage pool and an LSI array. All works well when they present the array snapshot to hosts other than the one where the original zpool resides but (as expected) we cannot import the zpool on the array snapshot to the original host..though no error message is issues, it just does not work. So, I am assuming that this is because the zpools have the same serial number (happy to be corrected). My question is are there any RFEs that will enable a zpool's serial number to be changed (if that is what is required to make this work). It may be that this is an awful idea..in which case I am happy to hear that as well and will feed that back to the customer.
