Super!
Does the export need to be called just before I import the pool to
another server,
Yes that is correct.
or can the export be called at the time the pool is
created?
no. It must be done on the server that is exporting the pool so that it
can be imported as Daniel explained.
because in a fail over I wouldn't be able to "export" the
pool before importing it.
In that case you would do a zpool import -f $mypoolname on the new server.
The '-f' will forcibly import the pool into the system. Provided the
pool isn't horribly broken. In my
experience this has worked fine for me on numerous occasions, where this
circumstance has arisen.
Thanks,
Peter

Hi All,
I have a zfs pool setup on one server, the pool is made up of 4 iSCSI
luns, is it possible to migrate the zfs pool to another server? Each
of the iSCSI luns would be available on the other server.
Thanks,
yes.
zpool export $mypoolname on the old server
zpool import $mypoolname on the new server
regards
daniel
